After a few early-morning additions to the 40-man roster, the Atlanta Braves swapped RHP Dennis Santana of the Texas Rangers for cash considerations. The 26-year-old has appeared in 134 big-league games. He posts a career 5.12 ERA across 139 frames.
Santana put together a subpar 2022 season. He ended the season with a 3-8 record and a 5.22 ERA. His only career start came in September 2022 as the Rangers took on the Boston Red Sox in a bullpen game. He tossed two innings of one-run ball and found himself back in the bullpen for the remainder of the season.
