Astros' Enyel De Los Santos: Signs MLB deal with Houston
Rotowire
De Los Santos signed a one-year, major-league contract with the Astros on Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
De Los Santos elected free agency after being DFA'd by Atlanta on July 30, and he'll now find a new home in the Astros' bullpen. The 29-year-old owns a 4.53 ERA and 1.31 WHIP through 43.2 innings this season and is likely ticketed for a middle-relief role in Houston. In order to clear roster space, the Astros optioned Nick Hernandez to Triple-A Sugar Land and designated Luis Contreras for assignment.

White Sox's Enyel De Los Santos: Claimed by White Sox
Rotowire
The White Sox claimed De Los Santos off waivers from the Yankees on Saturday.
De Los Santos will move on to his third team in less than a month, as the Padres traded him to the Yankees on July 30 before he New York designated him for assignment Wednesday. Though he was moved off the Yankees' 40-man roster after giving up seven earned runs in a 1.2-inning relief appearance against this same White Sox squad, Chicago evidently felt that De Los Santos' stronger body of work over parts of six big-league seasons made him worthy enough for a spot in the bullpen. Since he doesn't have minor-league options remaining, De Los Santos will report to the big club.

Yankees' Enyel De Los Santos: Departs 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Yankees designated De Los Santos for assignment Wednesday.
The move comes two days after De Los Santos was bludgeoned for seven runs over a 1.2-inning relief appearance versus the White Sox. While his brief tenure with the Yankees has gone poorly, De Los Santos has a career 25.6 percent strikeout rate as a reliever and is under team control through 2026, so he could draw interest via trade or waivers.

Yankees' Enyel De Los Santos: Acquired by Yankees
Rotowire
The Yankees acquired De Los Santos and right-hander Thomas Balboni from the Padres in exchange for outfielder Brandon Lockridge on Tuesday.
De Los Santos had a 4.46 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 48:13 K:BB over 40.1 innings for the Padres this season, but he was expendable with the club adding major bullpen pieces at the deadline. The right-handed journeyman had a 3.18 ERA in 120 outings for the Guardians across the previous two seasons, and he's likely to work in middle relief for the Yankees.

Padres' Enyel De Los Santos: Grabs five-out save
Rotowire
De Los Santos allowed a hit and struck out two over 1.2 scoreless innings to earn the save in Friday's 9-5 win over the Brewers.
Not often part of the high-leverage mix, De Los Santos got a chance to protect a three-run lead in the eighth inning. After the Padres added an insurance run, he pitched the ninth to earn his first save since 2022, when he was with the Guardians. The right-hander has put together an okay season with a 3.41 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 38:9 K:BB over 31.2 innings, and he's added seven holds. His big problem has been the long ball -- De Los Santos has yielded nine home runs after giving up a total of seven homers across his previous two campaigns combined.

Padres' Enyel De Los Santos: Picks up fifth hold
Rotowire
De Los Santos registered a hold against Atlanta on Friday, striking out one batter over a perfect two-thirds of an inning.

The hold was the first this month for the right-hander hurler, who had given up a homer in three of his previous four outings prior to Friday. The long ball has been an issue for De Los Santos this season -- of the six earned runs he's allowed, five have come on solo homers -- but he's otherwise been solid, posting a 3.12 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 23:4 K:BB while collecting five holds across 17.1 innings.
