2024 Fantasy Outlook
Santander's triple slash improved across the board as he benefited from legislating the shift. The switch-hitter faced a shift 89.4 percent of the time as a lefty in 2022, posting a .219 BABIP. Last season, he was shaded 65.3 percent of the time when batting left-handed, leading to a .292 BABIP. The higher BABIP helped counter a career high strikeout rate, though it wasn't egregiously high. Santander's homers dropped, but his percentage of extra base hits increased four points, so his slugging percentage improved. After stealing just three career bases heading into last season, Santander was 5-for-6 with the new rules, so there's some hope he'll run a tad more. Santander's defense remained a tick above average in right field, assuring he'll continue to play nearly every day, even as the Orioles continue to promote prospects to the majors. There isn't an area where Santander pops with upside, but he's a durable and reliable compiler on a team with a potent lineup. Read Past Outlooks
Heads to bench Wednesday
Santander is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Santander will get a breather after he had started each of Baltimore's last 13 games while posting an .886 OPS. The 29-year-old isn't at any risk of losing hold of an everyday role, but he'll cede his spot in the lineup Wednesday to rookie Heston Kjerstad, who has played sparingly since being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on April 23.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Hoping to stick in Baltimore
Santander has expressed a desire to sign an extension with the Orioles, Matt Weyrich of the Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Santander is in his final year of arbitration and will hit free agency at the close of the 2024 season. He offers solid defense in right field and has posted above-average results in three of the last four campaigns. That combination would make him enticing to most teams, though the Orioles have an impressive pipeline of young talent, and Heston Kjerstad or Kyle Stowers could ultimately make Santander expendable.

2017
Santander was a concern heading into the season because of the sharp increase in his strikeout rate in 2021 as he missed nearly 50 games with injuries. The additional curveball of the changes to Camden Yards made us wonder if 20 homers could ever happen again, and all he did was go out and obliterate his previous career high and hit 33 homers, including 7 at home as a righty. He even hit a comfy .269 at home, but really struggled away from Baltimore with a .212 average in other parks and was particularly bad from the left side of the plate on the road (.194.) His StatCast profile has a healthy shade of red in the right areas except for a below average chase rate and a league average walk rate. He has now hit just below league average in two consecutive seasons after hitting above it in the previous two, but you are targeting him for homers and RBIs while hoping for a batting average rebound. He would be a 40-homer threat in most any other ballpark in baseball.
