Out with intercostal strain Santana was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right intercostal strain. The move is retroactive to Sept. 28.

Impact It's unclear exactly how long the right-hander has been dealing with the injury, as his only appearance in the past three weeks came on Sept. 20. Since the move is backdated, Santana will be eligible to be activated for the first game of the NLDS next Friday, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point.

Reinstated Saturday Santana was reinstated from the paternity list prior to Saturday's game against the Padres.

Impact He has given up one earned run with two strikeouts and three walks in five innings across five appearances this month. Look for Santana to work in low-leverage situations down the stretch.

Heads to Triple-A Atlanta optioned Santana to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Impact Santana was cast off the active roster to make room for starting pitcher Ian Anderson (shoulder), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of his scheduled outing Sunday versus the Giants. Though he scooped up fluky wins in three straight relief appearances earlier this month, Santana has worked in largely low-leverage spots out of the Atlanta bullpen this season. Over 37.2 innings, he's recorded a 3.82 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and three holds.

Snags win Friday Santana (2-0) retired the only batter he faced via strikeout and earned the win Friday over Washington.

Impact Starter Kyle Muller wasn't able to complete five innings, so Santana was brought into the game. He struck out Victor Robles, and the right-hander ended up in line for a win when Atlanta rallied ahead in the bottom of the fifth. Santana has allowed just three runs in his last 13.1 innings dating back to the start of July, but he has yet to see much high-leverage work. The 29-year-old has a 3.51 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 27:7 K:BB across 33.1 innings while adding three holds.

On roll heading into break Santana has allowed only one run over his last eight appearances (nine innings) dating back to June 18, posting a 1.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB over that stretch.

Impact The 29-year-old right-hander isn't seeing much high-leverage work -- he has zero wins, saves or holds during that time -- but the performance could move him up in the bullpen pecking order in the second half. Santana's best route to fantasy value might come if Atlanta is forced to deploy bullpen games more often to cover the holes in its rotation.
