MLB:
What immediate fantasy impact could Santana’s release have on the Guardians’ lineup and the players around him?
Qwiket AI:
Santana’s exit removes a veteran lefty bat from Cleveland’s corner/DH mix, tilting the at-bats toward Manzardo and Kayfus at first base and RF. For fantasy managers, it tightens platoon risk on the Guardians’ early-week lineups but could boost Manzardo’s at-bats and Kayfus’ chances to prove himself in RF or DH. If Santana signs with a contender, his role will hinge on opportunity; otherwise expect tighter swings by Fry and Jones in non-Giants days.
