Overview

  • Deyvison De Los Santos was recalled for his first major league opportunity after Christopher Morel was scratched with a left oblique strain.
  • Miami expects to learn Morel’s timetable after imaging, and oblique strains often lead to a 10-day injured list stint because they make swinging painful.
  • The move requires no extra 40-man transaction since De Los Santos already held a roster spot and was on an optional assignment.
  • De Los Santos is set to serve as a right-handed bench bat, with Connor Norby seeing first-base reps and Graham Pauley or Javier Sanoja taking more third-base innings.
  • Miami acquired De Los Santos from Arizona in the 2024 A.J. Puk deadline deal, and after a 28-homer surge that year his production dipped in Triple-A in 2025 as he hit .241/.311/.363 and missed five weeks with a left quad strain.
