Diamondbacks veteran Carlos Santana suffers setback in injury rehab
Arizona will keep the 40-year-old first baseman on the injured list after he re-injured the adductor in seven rehab games.
- On Monday, Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Carlos Santana suffered a rehab setback, forcing his return to Arizona for further evaluation after re-injuring his right adductor, manager Torey Lovullo confirmed.
- Santana has been sidelined since April 5 after exiting an Atlanta Braves game with an adductor strain, struggling offensively with a.083 batting average across eight games before the injury.
- During his Triple-A Reno rehab assignment, Santana "felt a twinge" on Saturday while playing for the Reno Aces, hitting 3-for-25 over seven games before being pulled from Sunday's contest.
- Lovullo faces a continued roster puzzle with commitments to Ildemaro Vargas and rookie Jose Fernandez in the lineup, leaving the team's infield configuration unchanged despite Santana's anticipated reserve role.
- No official timetable exists for Santana's return as the Diamondbacks continue their Texas Rangers series in Arlington, with upcoming matchups against the Rangers and Colorado Rockies this week.
