Latest news
The Astros optioned Santa to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Santa will open the second half in the minors after making two appearances out of the bullpen during his latest stint with the Astros. The young right-hander owns a 1.17 ERA and 0.91 WHIP over his first 15.1 innings in the big leagues, though a weak 5.1 K-BB% indicates that he hasn't been nearly as dominant as the other two ratios would suggest.

The Astros recalled Santa from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
It's a well-deserved return to the big leagues for Santa, who posted a 0.71 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB across 12.2 frames in his first taste of the majors earlier this year. He should fill a low-leverage relief role while up with Houston.

The Astros optioned Santa to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Santa has made eight relief appearances for Houston this season, giving up five runs (one earned) with an 8:5 KK:B over 12.2 frames. He had pitched both of the previous two days, so the Astros are sending Santa down in favor of a fresh bullpen arm in Jayden Murray, who was recalled from Sugar Land.

Santa threw two perfect innings while striking out one in Monday's 9-0 win over the Rangers.
Following Tatsuya Imai and Steven Okert, Santa's big-league debut was one to remember as he recorded the final six outs to secure the first no-hitter of the 2026 campaign. Prior to having his contract selected Friday by the Astros, the right-hander posted a 1.42 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 24:7 K:BB across 19 innings with Triple-A Sugar Land.

The Astros selected Santa's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.
To make room for the 23-year-old on the big-league roster, Jayden Murray was optioned to Triple-A. Santa will be looking to make his MLB debut during the Astros' weekend series at Wrigley Field. In 18 games with Sugar Land this season, he logged a 2.37 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 24:7 K:BB across 19 innings.

The Astros are expected to call up Santa from Triple-A Sugar Land, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
It appears Santa will be called up to the majors ahead of the Astros' weekend series against the Cubs in Chicago. The move will bolster an Astros bullpen operating without Bennett Sousa (elbow) and Josh Hader (biceps). Santa has appeared in 18 games in Triple-A this season and has a 1.42 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, two saves and a 24:7 K:BB across 19 innings. His first appearance out of the Astros' bullpen will be his major-league debut.
