He did have one of Toronto's two hits in the first game of the ALCS. Santander was part of the Blue Jays' lone scoring opportunity after he ripped a single into right field with one out in the second inning. Victor Robles misplayed the ball, and Santander ended up on second base. An Andres Gimenez pop-out followed by a George Springer groundout would end the threat, and Toronto wouldn't get a runner beyond first base the rest of the game.

Sept. 11 marked the first time since 2019 in which Santander played in a Triple-A game. On Tuesday, Santander got to play in front of a home crowd in Buffalo for the first time at Sahlen Field. Prior to that game Santander had recorded three hits in 14 at bats with four walks drawn in his rehab starts. The Bisons began a six-game home stand yesterday against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders to close out the 2025 season.

Some Jays fans could jump in and quickly argue that big offseason free agent signing Anthony Santander hasn't lived up to his contract yet. After all, the former All-Star outfielder had struggled mightily in his first year with the club, batting a pitiful .179 and a .577 OPS, with just 14 runs scored, five doubles, six home runs and 18 RBIS over 50 games played.
