Reds' Tony Santillan: Nursing significant oblique strain
Reds manager Terry Francona said Friday that an MRI on Santillan's left oblique showed a significant strain, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
Santillan -- who has notched each of the Reds' last three saves -- was placed on the 15-day injured list earlier Friday, and he appears to be facing a prolonged absence. Emilio Pagan (hamstring) is expected back from the IL soon and could immediately retake his closer job. Until then, Pierce Johnson and/or Tejay Antone could get a look in the ninth inning.

Reds' Tony Santillan: Shelved by oblique strain
The Reds placed Santillan on the 15-day injured list Friday with an oblique strain, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
It's unclear when he was hurt, but Santillan last pitched Monday versus the Brewers. The right-hander had stabilized the Reds' closer job of late, turning in a 1.13 ERA and 6:1 K:BB over his last eight innings while notching three saves. Though he will be eligible for activation July 8, Santillan could be held out until after the All-Star break, given the nature of the injury. Emilio Pagan (hamstring) is on a rehab assignment and is likely to retake the Reds' closer job before Santillan returns from the IL.

Reds' Tony Santillan: Scoreless run ends
Santillan (1-4) was the losing pitcher Monday, allowing two runs (one earned) while walking one in a 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Brewers.
Santillan, who entered a scoreless tie in the 10th inning, gave up runs for the first time in eight outings. Monday's results aside, he appears to have settled in as the Reds fill-in closer until Emilio Pagan (hamstring) returns, which could happen within a week. Pagan threw a second live batting-practice/simulated-game session Monday and is expected to begin a brief rehab assignment Thursday.

Reds' Tony Santillan: Nails down fourth save Tuesday
Santillan struck out two while allowing one hit over one inning to get his fourth save of the season Tuesday night against the Mets.
Santillan has converted the Reds' last two saves and now has six consecutive scoreless outings. He credits seeing a clip from him from two years ago that inspired him to clean up his delivery, Charlie Goldsmith reports. On a team hurting for reliable relievers, Santillan looks to be its best healthy reliever and likely to get most of the Reds' saves until Emilio Pagan returns.

Reds' Tony Santillan: Breezes to third save
Santillan notched a save against the Diamondbacks on Saturday with no strikeouts in a perfect inning of work.
Santillan faced a stiff test when he entered in the ninth inning, as he was summoned to protect a one-run lead against the heart of Arizona's lineup. The right-hander passed with flying colors, retiring the side in order on three groundouts while throwing 10 of 14 pitches for strikes. It was Santillan's first save since May 19, and he's the only pitcher on the team to have multiple saves (three) this season aside from the injured Emilio Pagan (hamstring). Pagan figures to retake the closer role once healthy, but until then Santillan seems to be at the head of Cincinnati's closer committee.

Reds' Tony Santillan: Blows save Saturday
Santillan blew the save in the Reds' 7-6 extra-inning win over the Cardinals in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader. He allowed two runs on two hits and two walks with one strikeout over one inning.
Santillan got the ball with a two-run lead in the ninth inning and surrendered a leadoff homer before yielding the tying run on a two-out single. The rocky outing extended a disastrous month for the 29-year-old, who owns a 14.21 ERA in May while allowing runs in six of eight appearances. For the year, he owns a 5.85 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB across 20 innings with two saves and 10 holds.

Reds' Tony Santillan: Converts save Tuesday night
Santillan pitched a perfect ninth Tuesday, striking out two Phillies to get his second save of the season.
That makes two scoreless outings in a row for Santillan, who previously went through a brutal stretch in which he allowed at least one homer in four consecutive games. The Reds are going with the lukewarm hand right now as their closer, grasping at straws to find anyone to stabilize the back end of their bullpen, and they'll Santillan every chance to regain his early-season form -- he sported a 1.98 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB in 13.2 innings at the end of April.

Reds' Tony Santillan: Struggles continue Wednesday
Santillan (1-2) took the loss Wednesday as the Reds fell 8-7 to the Nationals, allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit in the 10th inning.
After Graham Ashcraft has worked a scoreless ninth to get the game to extras, Santillan got the call in the top of the 10th but served up a game-winning two-run homer to Daylen Lile. Santillan has fallen apart in May with the Reds' closer role there for the taking while Emilio Pagan (hamstring) is on the shelf -- he's served up long balls in four straight appearances and has been tagged for runs in all five of his outings this month, seeing his ERA inflate from 1.98 at the end of April to a ghastly 5.82.

Reds' Tony Santillan: Could replace injured closer
Santillan is the likely candidate to replace injured closer Emilio Pagan (hamstring), who was removed from Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Cubs, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Santillan has been the preferred eighth-inning arm for manager Terry Francona and has produced nine holds thus far in 2026. Although he didn't fare well Tuesday -- the right-hander was taken deep by Michael Busch -- Santillan is a logical choice to serve as the closer in Pagan's absence. Santillan a trusted late-game arm, sporting a 2.87 ERA over 15.2 innings this season, and his 12 career saves are more than any other relievers in line to get save opportunities for the Reds.
