Cleveland Indians infielder Carlos Santana turned in a big game in powering his team to their first Cactus League win this spring. Santana hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning and wound up driving in three runs in total in the game.
Fantasy Impact
Santana is back with the Indians after a one-year stint with the Phillies. He is expected to anchor the middle of the Cleveland lineup while playing first base, designated hitter, and possibly some outfield this season. At this point in his career, fantasy owners know what they are getting from Santana, who should hit at least 20 homers and combine for 160 runs and RBI while hitting around .250 this season. While not a league-winner, Santana can serve as a solid fantasy asset who can be attained in the middle of drafts.
