August 5, 2025 4:48 PM : Santana is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Mets.
Analysis: It marks the second time across the last three contests and fourth time over the last 12 games that Santana has been out of the lineup. The 39-year-old is slashing just .198/.265/.280 since the start of June and could continue ceding starts to C.J. Kayfus. It will be Kayfus handling first base and batting eighth for Cleveland on Tuesday.
