Tony Santillan

Tony Santillan will serve as the opener for the Reds on Tuesday against the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

Frankie Montas was scheduled to start on Tuesday before he was traded on Monday. It will be a bullpen game for the Reds on Tuesday.

The Reds have recalled Tony Santillan from Triple-A Louisville.

Fantasy Impact

Santillan will join the roster to provide depth in the bullpen heading into the All-Star break. He will likely be optioned once the Reds need a replacement for Carson Spiers in the rotation.

Tony Santillan went on the IL Friday due to an injury to his back. The move was retroactive to Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

It’s unclear how long Santillan will be out, but if you are one of the few fantasy managers who has him rostered, you can probably move on. The Reds have been going with a committee approach at closer most of the season and Santillan hasn’t pitched well this year. He hits the IL with an ERA of 5.49 and a very high WHIP of 1.78.

Cincinnati Reds RP Tony Santillan pitched 1/3 of the ninth inning on Thursday, walking two, and allowing two hits for two earned runs in the Reds' 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact

Santillan should not be rostered at the moment and Thursday was an example of that as he came in with a save opportunity and left the ultimate loser. The Reds reliever is pitching with an ERA of 5.89 and a record of 0-1 with just four saves.

Cincinnati Reds RP Tony Santillan pitched the ninth inning on Tuesday, striking out two, and allowing three hits for one earned run in the Reds' 2-1 win over the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact

Santillan earned his fourth save of the season on Tuesday, but he certainly had to work for it as he gave up three hits for one earned run before getting out of the inning. The Reds reliever is out of fantasy range at the moment as he has an ERA of 4.67 with just the four saves on the season which is to low to justify.
