Gregory Santos's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Seattle Mariners pitcher Gregory Santos (lat) is progressing well early in his throwing program, according to M's general manager Justin Hollander. Santos was cleared to begin a throwing program on Tuesday and the early reports are positive at this time. The 24-year-old was acquired from the Chicago White Sox on Feb. 3 for two minor leaguers and a draft pick. He enjoyed a nice rookie season in the bigs in the 2023 campaign when he worked to a 3.39 ERA and a 17% K-BB% across 60 appearances, even locking down five saves. He is slated for late-inning work again with the Mariners in 2024 but behind closer Andres Munoz. However, the unstable injury situation with Matt Brash could yield Santos some holds if Brash were to miss notable time.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Gregory Santos (lat) will begin his throwing program on Tuesday. The 24-year-old was acquired this offseason in a trade with the Chicago White Sox after he impressed in 60 appearances on the south side in his rookie campaign in 2023. Santos worked to a 3.39 ERA in his 66 1/3 innings of work but also posted a 2.65 FIP and allowed just two home runs on the season while posting a tiny 0.27 HR/9 clip. The Mariners have Andres Munoz and Matt Brash as the key late-inning arms at the back end of their bullpen, meaning Santos' chances at saves and holds could be limited. He is best left off the fantasy radar barring a notable injury to either Munoz or Brash.

Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais said that relief pitcher Gregory Santos (lat) is progressing and will start ramping up his throwing program in the coming days at spring training. Santos reported right-lat soreness early in camp but could still be ready for Opening Day as long as he doesn't have a setback once he resumes throwing. The 24-year-old was acquired from the Chicago White Sox in a trade this offseason and is expected to serve in some sort of setup role for the M's in 2024 in his first year in Seattle. Unless you're in a really deep holds league, Santos probably shouldn't be on your fantasy radar. In 66 1/3 relief innings for Chicago last year, Santos had a respectable 3.39 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with 66 strikeouts and 17 walks.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Gregory Santos (lat) is a little bit behind the other pitchers in spring training due to a right-lat that has recently surfaced. Santos won't be able to throw off a mound right away in camp. The 24-year-old also dealt with right-elbow soreness last year and could be in danger of opening the 2024 regular season on the injured list. Santos came to Seattle this offseason in a trade from the Chicago White Sox and figures to serve in a setup role when healthy. The Dominican reliever made a career-high 60 appearances out of Chicago's bullpen last year and was solid with a 3.39 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with his first five career saves, 17 walks and 66 strikeouts in 66 1/3 innings. Unless injuries in the back of Seattle's bullpen open up save chances for Santos, he's unlikely to have much fantasy appeal in 2024.

The Seattle Mariners have acquired relief pitcher Gregory Santos from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for right-hander Prelander Berroa, outfielder Zach DeLoach, and the 69th pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. Santos made a handful of appearances between 2021 and 2022 but truly emerged last year, amassing a 3.39 ERA, 8.95 K/9, and 2.31 BB/9 over the course of 66.1 innings before a late-season shoulder injury. Now healthy, he was in the mix to be the White Sox' closer and should maintain a high-leverage role in Seattle.
