Eligibility
Carlos Santana went 2-for-4 in the Twins' 10-8 loss to the Blue Jays with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and three RBI.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the loss, Santana's performance was a bright spot, showing he still has the power to impact games significantly. His season-long struggle with a low batting average (.203) and on-base skills (only 12 walks in 36 games) continues to be a concern for fantasy managers. However, his ability to drive in runs (18 RBI) and hit for power (6 home runs) can't be ignored in formats that value these categories. Santana's lack of consistency makes him a risky play, but his power potential might offer some value in deeper leagues or as a situational player against favorable pitching matchups.
Carlos Santana went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Twins' 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
His solo shot contributed crucially to the narrow victory. Despite this flash of power, Santana's season has been underwhelming, with a batting average lingering around the Mendoza Line at .194 and a modest five homers over 35 games. His .270 wOBA and .200 BABIP suggest he's struggling to make effective contact, which doesn't bode well for fantasy managers looking for consistent production. While the home run might excite some, Santana's overall performance this season should temper expectations.

Carlos Santana went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Twins' 3-2 win over the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
His solo shot contributed crucially to the narrow victory, marking his fourth homer of the season. Despite the impactful performance, Santana's season has been underwhelming with a mere .185 batting average and a .266 wOBA over 25 games. His power shows in sporadic bursts, but his high strikeout rate and low BABIP suggest continued inconsistency. Fantasy managers should view Santana as a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues for occasional power surges.
