WASHINGTON — With his season workload at 60 appearances and 661⁄3 innings pitched, in high leverage opportunities including closer role responsibilities for the first time in his career, right-hander Gregory Santos is calling it a season.
The hard-throwing 24-year-old who was acquired in a minor trade last offseason after being designated for assignment by the Giants and ascended to ninth-inning duty with closer Liam Hendriks lost for most of the season, Santos was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation Wednesday.
