Lands on 15-day IL Santana was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left ankle sprain Thursday, retroactive to Aug. 3.
Impact Santana hasn't been particularly sharp recently, giving up five runs in 2.1 innings over his last three appearances. It's possible that his ankle injury contributed to his struggles, and he'll be unavailable for at least two weeks. His placement on the IL helps create space on the active roster for Cole Ragans, whose contract was selected Thursday.

Takes another loss Santana (3-5) was tagged with Thursday's loss to Seattle, allowing three runs on three hits and a hit batsman while striking out one over a third of an inning.
Impact Santana, who lost a second consecutive appearance, was part of a bullpen meltdown that squandered a gutsy performance by Martin Perez, who allowed one run and needed 102 pitches over five innings. Over his last six outings, Santana has allowed 13 runs (12 earned) on 11 hits and six walks, accelerating his ERA from 1.44 to 4.29. He's pitched well out of the bullpen, but Texas' starting staff puts a lot of stress on its relievers. The Rangers rank eighth in relief innings pitched, and the 'pen has been good for much of the season, but the workload may be catching up to Santana.

Chance for saves opens up Santana should be the favorite for save opportunities after manager Chris Woodward announced Friday that Joe Barlow has been removed from the closer role, Jeff Wilson of RangersTod...
Impact Santana picked up his lone save of the season in late May and has primarily worked in as a setup man this year with 13 holds, but Barlow's demotion opens up a ninth-inning role. Santana has been effective with a 2.25 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB over 32 innings, though it appears he won't simply be stepping in as the Rangers' new closer, as Woodward said he'll now utilize a matchup-based approach for saves, per Levi Weaver of The Athletic. Matt Bush (forearm) appears close to returning from the injured list and could also be in the late-inning mix.

Returns to action Santana (ankle) allowed a hit and a walk in two-thirds of a scoreless inning, earning his ninth hold of the season Sunday versus the Mariners.
Impact Santana was hit by a comebacker in Saturday's contest, but the Rangers were never seriously concerned about his status. That turned out to be accurate, as he returned a day later with no obvious issues. The right-hander has a 1.40 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB through 19.1 innings this season, serving as a high-leverage option as part of the setup path to closer Joe Barlow.
