Seattle Mariners reliever Gregory Santos will be sent out on a rehab assignment early next week after throwing a 21-pitch live batting practice session on Friday afternoon.
"The objective for me today, I think, was just to finish healthy," Santos said through interpreter Freddy Llanos. "Just throw a good live BP, go out and go to Triple-A, but the objective was to finish healthy."Santos threw four-plus at-bats to hitters Ryan Bliss and Victor Robles during his outing, allowing a sharp base-hit to left field from Bliss, and striking out Robles once."I think it was enough pitches," Santos said.
"It’s 98 with splitter movement. You just don’t see that," Bliss said. "The ball drops out of nowhere. You don’t really see it. It’s something unique, and it’s a really good pitch."Santos had his first full season in the majors last season with the White Sox, appearing in 60 games with 66 ⅓ innings pitched. He had a 3.39 ERA with 66 strikeouts and 17 walks with two walks allowed.
