Carlos Santana Batting Fifth In Mariners Debut
Carlos Santana will be hitting fifth in the lineup in his debut with the team Tuesday. Prior to the game, the Mariners optioned infielder Drew Ellis to Triple-A to clear space for Santana. The 36-year-old veteran has slashed just .216/.349/.341 with four home runs, 21 RBI and 17 runs over 52 games this year, but he's been showing some promising signs at the plate in June. He has a .357/.478/.554 slash line this month that's supported by a .607 xSLG and a 92.3 mph average exit velocity.
