Carlos Santana Absent On Monday
11 months agoPittsburgh Pirates first baseman Carlos Santana (back) is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the San Francisco Giants. Santana suffered from lumbar-spine muscle tightness on Sunday and was pulled from the game early, and he'll take a seat to begin the week. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day, but this is definitely an injury that could send the 37-year-old veteran to the injured list this week. With Ji Man Choi (Achilles) still on the 60-day injured list, the Pirates are thin at the first base position. Outfielder Connor Joe will start at the cold corner on Monday and hit fifth against Giants right-hander Anthony DeSclafani. Santana is hitting just .226 on the year with three home runs and 24 RBI in 177 at-bats.
