Pops homer in return Santana went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 12-7 loss to Tampa Bay.

Impact The 30-year-old entered the game with Boston trailing 12-3 in the eighth inning. Santana went back-to-back with Bobby Dalbec in the eighth, although the rally fell short. Santana missed two days while he was on the COVID-19 injured list, but his quick return indicates he is healthy. He'll likely continue to serve in a utility role. The veteran is slashing just .174/.250/.349 with five homers, 14 RBI, 14 runs scored and three stolen bases through 120 plate appearances.

Scores in Friday's win Santana entered Friday's game as a pinch runner and scored a run in an 8-5 win over Cleveland.

Impact Santana ran for Travis Shaw in the seventh inning then scored on Kyle Schwarber's two-run double two batters later. Santana, who was reinstated to the roster Wednesday amid a COVID-19 outbreak, could be used frequently. The Red Sox were already playing without middle infielders Enrique Hernandez, Christian Arroyo and Xander Bogaerts, before center fielder Jarren Duran was added to the COVID-19 list Friday. Although Santana plays multiple positions, middle infield and center field have been his primary spots throughout his career.

Back from injured list Santana (groin) was activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Santana has been sidelined by the groin injury since just after the All-Star break, and he'll rejoin the major-league roster Wednesday with the team in the midst of a COVID-19 outbreak. The 30-year-old won't immediately join the lineup, but there should be plenty of opportunities up for grabs in the immediate future with four position players currently on the COVID IL.

Won't return Monday Santana (groin) is expected to make his final rehab appearance at Double-A Portland on Tuesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Red Sox were hopeful that Santana would be back with the team as early as Monday, but he'll require at least one more rehab game before returning to the majors. The team would have some more flexibility if he's activated Wednesday since the team's active roster will expand to 28 players Sept. 1. The 30-year-old has gone 7-for-14 with two home runs, a double, five runs, four RBI and three stolen bases across his five rehab appearances.
