Yankees' Enyel De Los Santos: Departs 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Yankees designated De Los Santos for assignment Wednesday.
The move comes two days after De Los Santos was bludgeoned for seven runs over a 1.2-inning relief appearance versus the White Sox. While his brief tenure with the Yankees has gone poorly, De Los Santos has a career 25.6 percent strikeout rate as a reliever and is under team control through 2026, so he could draw interest via trade or waivers.

Padres' Enyel De Los Santos: Picks up fifth hold
Rotowire
De Los Santos registered a hold against Atlanta on Friday, striking out one batter over a perfect two-thirds of an inning.
De Los Santos entered in the seventh frame with the tying run at the plate and struck out Zack Short before getting Ronald Acuna to fly out to escape the danger. The hold was the first this month for the right-hander hurler, who had given up a homer in three of his previous four outings prior to Friday. The long ball has been an issue for De Los Santos this season -- of the six earned runs he's allowed, five have come on solo homers -- but he's otherwise been solid, posting a 3.12 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 23:4 K:BB while collecting five holds across 17.1 innings.

Padres' Enyel De Los Santos: Avoids arbitration with SD
Rotowire
De Los Santos signed a one-year contract with the Padres on Thursday to avoid arbitration.
The Guardians sent De Los Santos to San Diego earlier in the offseason in exchange for Scott Barlow. De Los Santos emerged as a reliable bullpen arm, posting a 3.18 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across two seasons in Cleveland, and he figures to be used fairly often in high-leverage situations with his new club.

Padres' Enyel De Los Santos: Dealt to San Diego
Rotowire
San Diego acquired De Los Santos from the Guardians on Friday in exchange for Scott Barlow.
De Los Santos, 27, registered a sharp 3.18 ERA with 123 strikeouts over 119 innings during his two-year run in Cleveland. The right-hander logged 70 relief appearances in 2023 and could be a bullpen workhorse for the Padres next season.

Guardians' Enyel De Los Santos: Emerges as reliable reliever
Rotowire
De Los Santos finished the season tied for 18th in the majors with 70 appearances.
De Los Santos was a trusted part of the Guardians' bullpen throughout the year, though he wavered with a 5.59 ERA in September. He tossed a scoreless inning in Sunday's season-ending 5-2 loss to the Tigers. Overall, De Los Santos posted a 3.29 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 62:25 K:BB over 65.2 innings while adding 16 holds, a 5-2 record and three blown saves. With Emmanuel Clase in place as closer, De Los Santos is unlikely to see ninth-inning assignments often as long as he remains with Cleveland.

Guardians' Enyel De Los Santos: Picks up win in nightcap
Rotowire
De Los Santos (5-2) struck out the only batter he faced and earned the win in Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader versus the Tigers.
De Los Santos got the last out in the top of the eighth inning, and the Guardians' offense rallied ahead in their half of the frame. He's allowed four runs over 6.2 innings in August, but he still has a solid 8:1 K:BB for the month, suggesting he's had a little bad luck. The right-hander is at a 2.84 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 46:19 K:BB while adding 13 holds over 50.2 innings this year as part of the bridge to closer Emmanuel Clase.

Guardians' Enyel De Los Santos: Collects fourth win
Rotowire
De Los Santos (4-1) pitched a perfect inning to earn the extra-inning win over Atlanta on Tuesday.
De Los Santos worked the 10th inning and got some help on an outfield assist from Myles Straw to nab the potential go-ahead runner at the plate on a double play. David Fry then walked it off in the bottom of the 10th. De Los Santos has allowed just two hits while striking out five over his seven-inning scoreless streak. For the season, he's at a 2.57 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 31:13 K:BB while adding six holds and a blown save over 35 innings. He's not firmly in the high-leverage mix, but he's pitched well enough to be trusted to protect leads.

Guardians' Enyel De Los Santos: Secures extra-inning win
Rotowire
De Los Santos (3-1) struck out one without giving up a hit or a walk in a scoreless inning to earn the extra-inning win over the Athletics on Tuesday.
De Los Santos pitched the 10th inning, and aside from a passed ball charged to catcher David Fry that moved the initial runner to third base, it was a sharp performance. Through eight appearances in June, De Los Santos has kept runs off the board five times, though a four-run meltdown versus the Red Sox on June 6 makes his numbers for the month look bad. He's been an effective middle reliever this year with a 3.10 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 27:13 K:BB and four holds over 29 innings.

Rotowire
De Los Santos (2-0) earned the win Monday over the Yankees, recording two outs without allowing a baserunner.
De Los Santos got the last two outs of the eighth inning, picking off Anthony Volpe at first base and getting Anthony Rizzo to ground out after replacing starter Cal Quantrill. In the ninth, the Guardians rallied for the lead, and Emmanuel Clase was able to close it out. De Los Santos has given up just three runs (two earned) over 10.1 innings this season, good for a 1.74 ERA. He also has a 1.06 WHIP, 9:5 K:BB and a hold through 11 appearances. De Los Santos isn't likely to get many save chances, but he's holding his own while seeing some high-leverage opportunities.

Guardians' Enyel De Los Santos: Earns extra-inning win
Rotowire
De Los Santos (1-0) struck out one in a perfect inning Sunday versus the Mariners, earning the extra-inning win.
De Los Santos worked the ninth inning of a 5-5 game, which was his third appearance of the young season. He's picked up a 3:1 K:BB over 2.2 hitless innings so far. The right-hander was mostly limited to middle-relief assignments in 2022, but he excelled in that role with a 3.04 ERA and 1.07 WHIP across 53.1 innings. He's unlikely to challenge for many saves with Emmanuel Clase, Trevor Stephan and James Karinchak in the high-leverage mix, but De Los Santos could be part of the bridge to get to the late innings.

De Los Santos took a blown save for allowing an inherited runner to score the tying run on a fielder's choice in the ninth inning, but the Guardians regained the lead in the top of the 10th.

He's filled a middle-relief role for much of his time in the majors this year, pitching to a 3.22 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 40:12 K:BB while adding a save and two holds through 36.1 innings.

Guardians' Enyel De Los Santos: Clean inning Tuesday
Rotowire
De Los Santos struck out one in a perfect inning in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Royals.
Since he was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on May 9, he's allowed just one hit and no walks with nine strikeouts across 7.1 scoreless innings. The right-hander is still seeing mostly low-leverage work, but he's done well to post a 2.08 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB across 13 innings this season. He's also picked up a hold in 12 appearances.

Pirates' Enyel De Los Santos: Dumped from 40-man roster
Rotowire
De Los Santos was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.
De Los Santos is still just 25 years old, but he hasn't done enough to entice a team to claim him off waivers. In 65.1 career major-league innings, most of which have come in relief, he owns a 6.06 ERA, though his 27.7 percent strikeout rate in 35.1 frames this season hints at some small amount of potential despite his 6.37 ERA.
