Carlos Santana Lands on 10-Day Injured List With Strained Groin
The Arizona Diamondbacks announced on Tuesday that they placed veteran first baseman Carlos Santana (groin) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 6) with a strained right adductor and selected the contract of infielder Luken Baker from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move. Santana injured his groin in Sunday's series finale against the Atlanta Braves and underwent testing on Monday during the team's day off. The D-backs are also without Pavin Smith (elbow) at the position. Ildemaro Vargas is starting at first base in Tuesday's series opener against the New York Mets, but Adrian Del Castillo could also see playing time at first base until one of Santana or Smith is back from the IL. Santana, 39, doesn't have much left in the tank in his 17th MLB season, and he was 2-for-24 (.083) with two walks and eight strikeouts at the time of his injury on Sunday.
