Impact Santiago faced a 10-game ban earlier in the season for having a foreign substance on his glove. He'll now face a lengthier suspension and will not appeal. Santiago should be able to serve about 55 games of the suspension by the end of the campaign, meaning he could be reinstated at some point in May of the 2022 season.

Pair of frames in return Santiago (suspension) fired two innings in a loss to the Astros on Tuesday, allowing an earned run on four hits and a walk.

Impact The veteran southpaw made his return after the completion of his 10-game MLB suspension. Santiago was put right back to work in the multi-inning role he's typically been deployed in this season and should be set for regular long-relief work again moving forward.

Returns from suspension The Mariners reinstated Santiago to the active roster Tuesday after he completed his 10-game suspension.

Impact Santiago's suspension stemmed from his ejection in a June 26 appearance versus the White Sox after officials spotted a foreign substance on his glove. Before his suspension went into effect July 15, Santiago had been working as a starter for Seattle, but it's unclear whether he'll now slot back into a starting role or move to the bullpen. If the Mariners do decide to deploy Santiago in the rotation, he would likely replace Darren McCaughan, who was touched up for seven runs in four innings in the Mariners' come-from-behind victory Monday.

Suspension upheld Santiago's 10-game suspension was upheld Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Santiago was ejected from a game in late June for having a foreign substance on his glove, but he was able to pitch while appealing his suspension. However, he'll serve the full length of his suspension following the All-Star break, and the Mariners will have to play with a shorthanded roster for the next 10 games. The southpaw will be eligible to return July 27 against the Astros.

Allows one run in abbreviated start Santiago allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out one over three innings Sunday against the Angels. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Santiago made his first start of the season due to the Mariners dealing with a number of injuries to their rotation. The veteran southpaw had a clean first two innings but allowed a solo home run in the third to David Fletcher to tie the game. He now owns a 3.33 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 29L10 K:BB over 24.1 innings. The 33-year-old is expected to hear the result of the appeal this week for his 10-game suspension for having a foreign substance on his glove in late June. If the suspension is upheld, the Mariners will be down another arm and will be scrambling for some starting pitching coming out of the All-Star break.

Thrust into rotation Seattle manager Scott Servais said Santiago will start Sunday's game against the Angels, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact With Justus Sheffield (forearm) and Justin Dunn (shoulder) recently joining James Paxton (elbow), Nick Margevicius (shoulder) and Ljay Newsome (elbow) on the injured list, the Mariners have been forced to shorten their rotation from six to five men. Santiago will pick up his first start of the season as a replacement for Sheffield, and the veteran southpaw should have a decent amount of leash, despite working out of the bullpen all season. He most recently tossed a season-high 76 pitches in a long-relief Tuesday against the Yankees, giving up three runs on seven hits and two walks over 3.1 innings.
