Cincinnati re-signed Santillan on Thursday to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Analysis: Santillan has been bogged down by various injuries over the last two seasons, but he posted a shiny 2.91 ERA with 56 strikeouts over 43.1 innings as a rookie in 2021. With better luck on the health front, the 26-year-old right-hander could reestablish himself as a useful part of the Reds' bullpen mix in 2024.
Tony Santillan Outrighted to Louisville
Santillan cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A Louisville, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Santillan gave up one run over 3.1 innings in three appearances with the Reds, but a 9.26 ERA and 2.12 WHIP in Triple-A was enough to keep other teams from claiming him off waivers. Santillan will almost certainly remain in Louisville to finish the season.
