Shut down with forearm strain The Rangers placed Santana on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right forearm strain.
Impact Texas hasn't provided a timeline for Santana's return, but he'll most likely miss more than the minimum 10 days after the arm soreness that kept him on the bench the last few days turned out to be more serious than initially believed when he was sent in for an MRI. While Santana sidelined, the Rangers are expected to turn to Nick Solak and Scott Heineman as their primary options in center field.

Injury worse than originally feared Santana has tightness in his forearm near his elbow and isn't expected to take the field defensively for a week, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
Impact Santana has just one hit and eight strikeouts in 17 at-bats to start the season, a slump which could be attributed to the injury. He's expected to remain on the active roster, as he can still hit and run, but it's not clear if he'll receive any starts as the designated hitter until his arm heals. Scott Heineman and Nick Solak have handled center field in his absence.

Sidelined against Giants Santana (arm) is not in the lineup Saturday against the Giants.
Impact Santana is dealing with right arm soreness that has kept him out of the past two contests. The team is bringing him along slowly as a precaution, and it's possible that he could be held out Sunday as well. Scott Heineman will take his place in center field Saturday, batting seventh.

Has sore right arm Santana has a sore right arm and may not play in the final two games of the series against the Giants, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.
Impact Santana sat out the last two games, which was attributed to his slumping start, but manager Chris Woodward reported the utility player is dealing with a sore arm. "He's OK," Woodward said. "He's just got a little arm soreness, and we're taking it easy on him. I don't want to have him throw or put him in the outfield. He felt it a couple days ago." His absence creates an opportunity for Nick Solak, who started in center field Friday.

Sitting amid slump Santana is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Impact With just one hit and eight strikeouts through 17 at-bats this season, Santana is one of several regulars in the Rangers lineup off to a slow start in the 60-game campaign. He'll get a chance to clear his head in the day game after a night game, allowing Scott Heineman to pick up a start in center field.

Early slump continues Santana was moved to second in the order and went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Impact Santana batted out of the three-hole in the first three games of the season, but manager Chris Woodward shook up a slumbering offense Tuesday. The lineup tweak did not jolt Santana out of his early slumber. He's hitless in his last 14 at-bats and 1-for-17 overall with eight strikeouts out of the gate.

Dialing in swing Santana hit his first home run of camp Friday then followed up with a homer and a triple Saturday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.
Impact Santana had been hitless over his first 13 at-bats, a stretch that included 10 strikeouts, but he appears to be getting his timing down. "It's funny, because I actually said that to him," Texas manager Chris Woodward said. "One home run, and it might change everything. Confidence is a beautiful thing. It also goes the other way at times. For him, he can get emotional at times. We're trying to get him to understand, just focus on what you can up there." One thing that might help Santana is being tied to one position instead of moving around the diamond. "I am very pleased with this year because I know I don't have to focus on a lot of different positions," Santana said. "It makes it a lot easier that I only have to concentrate on my position in the outfield."
