Wed Mar 1321:56Anthony Santander Not Hitting For Much Average
Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Anthony Santander couldn't end his spring struggles in Wednesday's 7-5 Grapefruit League loss to the Atlanta Braves, going hitless in two at-bats with one walk and a run scored. Santander may have cranked two home runs against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday, but in 32 ABs overall during spring training, he's hitting only .156 (5-for-32) with three homers and six RBI. The 29-year-old switch-hitting slugger is going to play a big role as Baltimore's likely everyday cleanup man, and he should drive in plenty of runs in 2024 after slashing .257/.325/.472 with 28 four-baggers, 41 doubles, and 95 RBI in 591 ABs last season. While Santander should be a great source of slugging numbers in fantasy leagues at his 132.4 Yahoo ADP, his lack of speed and batting average will hurt his value a bit.

Thu Jan 1116:24Anthony Santander Avoids Arbitration With O's
Outfielder Anthony Santander and the Baltimore Orioles settled at $11.7 million for the 2024 season on Thursday to avoid salary arbitration, according to a source. It's a big raise for Santander, who made $4.3 million last season on his way to slashing .257/.325/.472 with 28 home runs and 95 RBI in 656 plate appearances over 153 games in his seventh year in Baltimore. The switch-hitting 29-year-old Venezuelan did also have a career-high strikeout rate, but it wasn't anything to be overly concerned about moving forward. Santander should remain a reliable contributor across the board for fantasy managers in 2024 in a potent Orioles lineup and he should continue to play nearly everyday because of his above-average glove in the outfield.

Mon Sep 18 202318:37Anthony Santander Hits The Pine Monday
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Houston Astros and right-hander Justin Verlander. It was a tough day at the plate on Sunday for Santander as the 28-year-old went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts despite his club pulling off a key extra-inning victory over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. Despite the off day on Sunday, the righty-swinging outfielder has had a nice season with a .252 average alongside 27 home runs, four stolen bases, and a .796 OPS across 141 appearances, production that grades out 18% above the league average, as per his 118 wRC+. Aaron Hicks will take over in right field and hit sixth against Verlander Monday in Houston.

Sun Sep 3 202310:00Anthony Santander Set For X-Rays After Hit-By-Pitch
Baltimore Orioles outfielder/first baseman Anthony Santander (hand) was forced from Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks after being struck in the right hand by a pitch. The 28-year-old was pulled following his ninth-inning at-bat for Ryan McKenna after going 1-for-4, and Santander is headed for precautionary X-rays to determine the extent of the damage. However, Orioles skipper Brandon Hyde believes Santander came away without suffering a significant injury. Fantasy managers should be relieved to hear this, but Santander could get Sunday off anyway. The switch-hitting slugger's bat has caught fire of late, hitting .366 (15-for-41) with five home runs, four doubles, and 14 RBI in his last 10 outings. Colton Cowser could see more action in addition to McKenna if Santander needs to miss time.

The 28-year-old Venezuelan outfielder has been a solid source of power for the first-place Orioles this year, swatting 21 home runs and driving in 65 RBI while batting .248 (110-for-444). Fantasy managers will be hoping he can pick things up, though, as he's gone just 10-for-54 (.185) with three home runs, a double, seven RBI, 16 strikeouts and five runs scored in 15 starts in August.

Thu May 25 202316:51Anthony Santander On Fire In May
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander has been blazing-hot in the month of May. After hitting just .213 with two home runs in April, Santander is hitting .304 with six home runs, 16 RBI and 14 runs scored in May entering play Thursday.

After this hot month, the 28-year-old's production is now in line with his numbers from last year, when he hit 33 home runs and drove in 89 runs. Santander will bat third in the finale of the Orioles' three-game road series against the New York Yankees on Thursday night and will face right-hander Clarke Schmidt.

Sat May 6 202310:25Anthony Santander Goes Deep From Both Sides Of The Plate
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander put on an absolute show in Friday's 9-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves on the road. Santander went 2-for-5 and homered from both sides of the plate, including a grand slam, to finish with five RBI, two runs scored and a strikeout. Santander didn't get off to the greatest of starts in 2023, but he's really starting to heat up at the plate, and hopefully fantasy managers had him in their starting lineups for Friday's contest. The 28-year-old Venezuelan is now hitting .241 (26-for-108) with eight doubles, three home runs and 13 RBI in his first 28 games of 2023.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander is taking the day off on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers. Santander will get a little breather after going 2-for-7 with a run scored in Saturday's doubleheader against Detroit. The 28-year-old Venezuelan outfielder hasn't done much for Baltimore on offense so far in 2023, as he's gone just 20-for-94 (.213) with eight doubles, two home runs, 11 RBI and eight runs scored in 107 plate appearances over 25 games. It's still early, though, and Santander will continue to be a lineup regular for an improved O's team.

Wed Apr 12 202316:24Anthony Santander Not Playing Wednesday
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander is not in the team's starting lineup against left-hander Ken Waldichuk and the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday because he's dealing with a sore back, according to manager Brandon Hyde. The skipper said it's "not a huge deal," though, so Santander should be available off the bench and treated as day-to-day by fantasy managers. The 28-year-old switch-hitter is off to a slow start for the O's, going 8-for-43 (.186) with four doubles, no homers, four RBI and two runs scored in the first 11 games of 2023. With Santander starting on the bench Wednesday, Adam Frazier draws the start in right field and is batting eighth against Waldichuk. Frazier has little offensive upside, especially low in the lineup.
