The Seattle Mariners have optioned Gregory Santos to Triple-A Tacoma, marking his first minor league stint in almost three years. Acquired from the Chicago White Sox during the 2023-24 offseason, Santos initially showed promise with strong performance numbers in the past, including a solid 2023 season with a 3.39 ERA over 66 1/3 innings. However, injuries, including a lat strain and biceps inflammation, disrupted his trajectory. Although he returned healthy for spring training with a 1.59 ERA in six appearances, his command issues this season led to poor performance, resulting in this recent optioning.
