Latest news
Atlanta granted Santana's release from his minor-league contract Sunday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
The 40-year-old will hit free agency and will look to land with an organization that can present him with a clearer path back to the big leagues. After signing with Atlanta on June 28, Santana slashed .292/.385/.382 with two home runs and two stolen bases across 104 plate appearances at Triple-A Gwinnett.

Santana agreed to a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Santana struggled mightily with Arizona early in the season, slashing .083/.154/.125 with a 2:8 BB:K over 26 plate appearances. The 40-year-old then suffered an adductor strain in early April, and when he was activated from the IL this past Wednesday, he was subsequently designated for assignment. Santana ultimately cleared waivers and was released, clearing the way for him to get a look from Atlanta. He'll presumably begin his stint with the organization as veteran depth at Triple-A Gwinnett, but if he performs well he could get another chance in the majors.

Santana cleared waivers Friday and was released by the Diamondbacks.
Santana was DFA'd by the D-backs immediately after being activated from the 60-day IL on Wednesday. He's free to explore other opportunities now that he's passed through waivers and entered free agency, though the 40-year-old first baseman may also consider hanging up his cleats.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Santana (adductor) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday and designated him for assignment.
Santana began the season in an everyday role at first base, but he produced a dreadful .083/.154/.125 slash line and struck out in eight of his 26 plate appearances over eight games before hitting the shelf April 7 due to a right adductor strain. After suffering a setback in May while out on a rehab assignment, Santana returned to action in the minors earlier this month but continued to struggle over eight games, batting .130 with a 3:7 BB:K. With Pavin Smith, LuJames Groover and Ildemaro Vargas all available on the big-league roster as options at first base, the Diamondbacks no longer had room for Santana. Assuming that the 40-year-old isn't claimed off waivers by another team, the Diamondbacks are likely to grant him his release.

Santana (thigh) began a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on Friday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
Santana started at first base, played five innings and went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI. He was back at Chase Field to take batting practice with the Diamondbacks on Saturday. It's unclear what role Santana will have once he's ready, as first base and DH are crowded with Pavin Smith, Ildemaro Vargas and LuJames Groover all looking for playing time. That list doesn't include the imminent returns Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) and Jordan Lawlar (wrist), both of whom may need at-bats at DH.

The Diamondbacks transferred Santana (thigh) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
The transaction frees up space on the 40-man roster for first baseman/designated hitter Pavin Smith (elbow), who was reinstated from the 60-day IL. Santana was pulled off his rehab assignment in mid-May after suffering a setback with his right adductor strain and remains without a timeline for a return.
