Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander delivered the difference-making blow in Friday night's win over the visiting Houston Astros, clubbing his 38th home run of the season in the victory. Santander sent Camden Yards into a frenzy on Friday night, smashing a Bryan Abreu fastball at the letters into deep right field for a go-ahead grand slam for the O's in the eighth inning against Houston. The 29-year-old All-Star switch-hitter has been a key cog all season long in Baltimore's lineup, slashing .238/.305/.526 with 38 home runs, 20 doubles, 86 RBI, and 77 runs scored through 479 at-bats (124 games).

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander appears to be getting a regular day of rest in Sunday's series finale against the division-rival Boston Red Sox at Camden Yards. With Santander starting on the pine, Ryan O'Hearn will play right field for the O's and bat second, while Eloy Jimenez is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup against Red Sox right-hander Kutter Crawford. Santander has already hit a career-high 36 home runs in 2024 and driven in 80 runs in 119 games. However, he's hitting just .183 (11-for-60) with five home runs, three doubles, seven RBI, a stolen base and 18 strikeouts in 68 trips to the plate over 15 games in the month of August. O'Hearn has faced Crawford seven times in his career and is still searching for his first hit against him, while Jimenez is batting .167 in six career at-bats against Crawford.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander continued his power surge in Tuesday's loss versus the Washington Nationals. Santander went 1-for-4 on the evening, but his one his was a solo home run. The slugger has continued to do what he does best and that is hitting home runs. Over the last month, Santander is hitting .265 with 12 homers and 22 RBI to go along with an impressive .999 OPS. The upcoming free-agent is earning more money with every ball he sends to the bleachers and overall has hit .243 with a career-high 36 homers and 80 RBI thus far. With the way he swinging, it is clear that Santander should remain in lineups on a daily basis.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander had a big night at the plate in Wednesday evening's win over the hosting division-rival Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, smacking two home runs with three RBI. Before hitting a solo homer to left field in the eighth inning to increase the Orioles' lead to 5-3, Santander hit a two-run blast to right-center field off Blue Jays right-hander Bowden Francis to give Baltimore a 2-0 lead over Toronto in the first frame on Wednesday. The 29-year-old All-Star switch-hitting slugger has been one of fantasy's most consistent options all season long, and since June 1, Santander is batting .278 (65-for-234) with 25 round-trippers, 49 RBI, and 43 runs scored in his last 59 games.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander continued his career power season in Monday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jays. Santander went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run, two RBI, and a walk. The 29-year-old took Brendon Little deep in the fifth inning, hitting an opposite-field liner just off the top of the right-field padding for his 31st HR of the season. Santander has almost matched his career-high HR count already and is slashing .246/.314/.536 with 62 runs scored and 72 RBI in 437 plate appearances. He should continue to be a fantasy lineup staple while hitting in the middle of one of baseball's best lineups.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander went 3-for-5 with two long balls on Friday evening to power the Orioles to a victory on Friday evening. The switch-hitter went deep for the first time in the fifth inning to score Gunnar Henderson. Later, in the seventh, he hit his second long ball to score Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson once again. The 29-year-old has posted a .242/.305/.521 line with 28 home runs, 63 RBI, and a 27:72 BB:K ratio. Santander is always worth a look in DFS formats as he usually has several scoring chances every game, batting in the heart of one of the best lineups in baseball.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander opened the second half with a bang in Friday night's romp of the defending-champion Texas Rangers in Arlington, smashing two home runs and piling up five RBI in the blowout win. After launching a two-run homer off Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi to right field to increase the Orioles' lead to 6-1 in the fifth inning, Santander hit a three-run jack down the right-field line to extend Baltimore's lead to 9-1 in the seventh frame to get the rout fully underway on Friday. The 29-year-old All-Star slugger is putting together a big July, batting .314 (16-for-51) with four long balls, two doubles, one triple, and eight RBI through 13 outings this month.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander went 2-for-3 with a double and his 22nd home run of the season in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Rangers. The 29-year-old also walked once, collected two RBI, and scored twice in the contest. Santander is no stranger to the long ball, but he is experiencing a power surge this month, belting 13 of his 22 home runs in June alone. The switch-hitter is having one of his best seasons yet, posting a .233-22-55-46-0 line with a .348 wOBA and 129 wRC+. He's striking out much less than last season (23.2% vs. 18.2%) and currently has a career-high Contact% of 82.4% to go along with a 10.9% Barrel%, which makes his production sustainable (although don't expect 13 home runs per month).

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander went 2-for-2 with two home runs and four RBI in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. He took Phillies starter Taijuan Walker deep in the fourth inning for his first homer of the game. The 29-year-old later blasted a two-run shot off Jose Ruiz to increase Baltimore's lead. Santander has been on a power surge in June and has homered eight times during the month. He is slashing .231/.307/.498 with 17 home runs, 42 RBI, and 38 runs over 66 games in 2024. Santander hits in the heart of the order in one of the most potent lineups in baseball, and fantasy managers should continue to roll with him in all league formats.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander went 2-for-5 with his 15th home run of the season in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Orioles. The home run was a big one that knotted the game at 2-2 in the eighth inning, and came off of reliever Matt Strahm, who hadn't allowed an earned run in 27 consecutive appearances prior to Friday. After hitting .211 over the first couple months of the season, Santander has turned it on in June, hitting .273 with six home runs in 14 games. The switch-hitter now owns a .224-15-38-36-0 line with a .335 wOBA and 121 wRC+.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder/designated hitter Anthony Santander continued to heat up in Monday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jays, going 2-for-4 with a single, a two-run home run, and a strikeout. The 29-year-old pulled a second-inning Kevin Gausman fastball just over the right-field wall for his 11th HR of the season. Santander's power numbers for the season are as expected but his .223 batting average leaves something to be desired. Fortunately for fantasy managers, he has been heating up lately, batting .346 with a pair of homers in his last seven games. Hopefully, he can continue to run with his hot streak.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder/designated hitter Anthony Santander is getting a day off on Memorial Day on Monday against the visiting Boston Red Sox. It looks to be a normal day of rest for Santander, who has gone deep twice in the last four games. The 29-year-old switch-hitting Dominican outfielder has supplied nine home runs, 29 RBI and 25 runs scored in 179 at-bats this year, but he's hitting just .201 (36-for-179) with 40 strikeouts and a 19.9 percent strikeout rate in 201 plate appearances so far in 2024. Santander has fanned in almost half of his last 25 plate appearances. With Santander out on Monday, Kyle Stowers will start in right field and bat seventh against Red Sox right-hander Cooper Criswell. Stowers has three hits in his first 12 at-bats this year and is looking for his first home run in the big leagues since his rookie campaign in 2022.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder/designated hitter Anthony Santander went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in the team's 8-6 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night on the road. The home run was his eighth of the season, and his first long ball since May 11, but the switch-hitting Venezuelan outfielder is still batting just .206 (35-for-170) on the year with 27 RBI and 23 runs scored for the O's in 45 games played. The homer was a good sign for the 29-year-old, though, as he's recently been dealing with a bruised knee. In the month of May, he's struggled to the tune of a .194/.265/.419 slash line with four homers, nine RBI and 13 strikeouts in 17 games. Santander will continue to play regularly in a strong Baltimore lineup when he's healthy, but he's also squaring the ball up on just 18.2% of his swings in 2024, which ranks 200th in baseball.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander (knee) is serving as the team's designated hitter and is batting fifth on Monday against the St. Louis Cardinals and right-hander Sonny Gray. Santander has been dealing with a bothersome bruised knee of late and was held out of Sunday's contest against the Seattle Mariners as a result. It mostly gives the 29-year-old issues while running the bases and in the outfielder, but Santander is apparently feeling good enough to DH for the series opener in St. Louis. In 10 career at-bats against Gray, Santander has only two hits, but one of them cleared the fences. The Venezuelan switch-hitter's power is attractive in fall fantasy leagues in the middle of a strong Baltimore lineup, but Santander has been inconsistent so far in 2024 and has gone 10-for-49 (.204) with three homers and seven RBI in 14 games so far in May.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander (knee) is out of the starting lineup on Sunday against the visiting Seattle Mariners while dealing with a sore and swollen left knee. Santander said running in the outfield has been tricky and he expects it to be a few more days before he's 100 percent. He crashed into the outfield wall on Wednesday and aggravated his knee while running the bases. The 29-year-old served as the team's designated hitter the last two days but will get a day off on Sunday and could also miss the series opener on Monday in St. Louis against the Cardinals. Austin Hays is getting a start in left field and is batting sixth, while Ryan O'Hearn is serving as the team's DH and is batting in the three-hole on Sunday against Mariners right-hander George Kirby. Santander is having a tough season to this point and is hitting .204 (10-for-49) with three homers and seven RBI in 14 games to this point in May.

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that outfielder Anthony Santander (knee) bruised his knee early in Wednesday's game against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays during a collision with the outfield wall. The injury got worse on Santander's double and slide in the eighth inning, which is why he was pulled from the contest in the ninth. For now fantasy managers should consider the 29-year-old as day-to-day. Santander went 2-for-4 with a strikeout in the 3-2 walk-off win to raise his season average to a weak .220 and his OPS to .745. The Orioles have a scheduled off day on Thursday before they start a series on Friday at Camden Yards against the visiting Seattle Mariners. Fantasy managers will want to check back then to see if Santander is back in action. Santander came into Wednesday's game slashing .212/.293/.438 with seven home runs and 25 RBI for the O's.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander had a big day at the dish in Sunday's 11-1 drubbing of the Cincinnati Reds. Santander finished the day 3-for-4 with a homer, two runs scored, and five RBI. The 29-year-old put the finishing touches on the offensive outburst, hitting a three-run homer in the ninth. Santander desperately needed the big game, as his triple slash line heading in was a dreadful .200/.276/.392 with only five homers. It's been a step back this year for the veteran, but a day like today could wake him up and turn him back into the four-category contributor that fantasy managers expected when they drafted him.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the visiting Minnesota Twins. It allows the Orioles to keep Colton Cowser in the starting lineup in right field while he hits fifth against Twins right-hander Louie Varland. Cowser is swinging one of the hottest bats in baseball right now and has started the year going 15-for-34 (.441) with four home runs, 13 RBI, two stolen bases and seven runs scored. The 24-year-old's hot start has made Austin Hays the odd man out in Baltimore's outfield situation on most days. Santander has three home runs on the year in 61 at-bats, but he's also hitting just .180 (11-for-61) in the early going. Cowser has never faced Varland in his career.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Anthony Santander couldn't end his spring struggles in Wednesday's 7-5 Grapefruit League loss to the Atlanta Braves, going hitless in two at-bats with one walk and a run scored. Santander may have cranked two home runs against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday, but in 32 ABs overall during spring training, he's hitting only .156 (5-for-32) with three homers and six RBI. The 29-year-old switch-hitting slugger is going to play a big role as Baltimore's likely everyday cleanup man, and he should drive in plenty of runs in 2024 after slashing .257/.325/.472 with 28 four-baggers, 41 doubles, and 95 RBI in 591 ABs last season. While Santander should be a great source of slugging numbers in fantasy leagues at his 132.4 Yahoo ADP, his lack of speed and batting average will hurt his value a bit.

Outfielder Anthony Santander and the Baltimore Orioles settled at $11.7 million for the 2024 season on Thursday to avoid salary arbitration, according to a source. It's a big raise for Santander, who made $4.3 million last season on his way to slashing .257/.325/.472 with 28 home runs and 95 RBI in 656 plate appearances over 153 games in his seventh year in Baltimore. The switch-hitting 29-year-old Venezuelan did also have a career-high strikeout rate, but it wasn't anything to be overly concerned about moving forward. Santander should remain a reliable contributor across the board for fantasy managers in 2024 in a potent Orioles lineup and he should continue to play nearly everyday because of his above-average glove in the outfield.
