Carlos Santana Injured, Luken Baker Called Up
About this episode
Carlos Santana, the Arizona Diamondbacks veteran first baseman, has been placed on the injured list with a right adductor strain. The injury, sustained during his only at-bat against the Atlanta Braves, is expected to keep him out for more than the minimum ten days. Santanas absence comes at a crucial time, as he has been struggling at the plate, going two for twenty-four with no RBIs in his last eight games. The Diamondbacks have called up Luken Baker from Triple-A Reno to fill the void, shifting Jordan Lawlar to the sixty-day injured list with a fractured right wrist. Baker will compete with Ildemaro Vargas and Jose Fernandez for first base duty as the team prepares for their series against the Mets.

On April 7th, Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Carlos Santana, the oldest active position player in the majors at 39 years old landed on. The 10-day injured list with a right-addictor shrain. The move came after he tweaked it during his only at-bat Sunday against the Atlanta Braves, where he's single before getting pulled in there. Six to five win over 10 innings. The placement is retroactive to Monday, and manager Tori LeVulo made it clear this ain't just a quick fix. He expects Santana's sideline will pass the 10-day minimum, saying the veteran will miss some real time before returning. Fans and the team feel the hits since Santana's been ice cold lately, going 2 for 24 with no RBI's over 8 games. This marks just his fifth injured list trip in a 17-year career. The longest break likely since his rookie year knee issue back in 2000. Tenon. To fill the gap, the Diamondbacks called up Luke and Baker from Triple A Reno, adding him to the 40-man roster. That shuffled outfielder Jordan Lawler to the 60-day list with a fractured right wrist
from last Thursday's hit by pitch. Baker, who signed a minor league deal in January after Stintz with St. Louis, now battles Ildemar Ovarges in Jose Fernandez for First Base Duty. With the med series underway, Arizona stays flexible up front. That wraps MLB news today, brought to you with AI. I'm Cory with the story.
