2023 Fantasy Outlook
Santander was a concern heading into the season because of the sharp increase in his strikeout rate in 2021 as he missed nearly 50 games with injuries. The additional curveball of the changes to Camden Yards made us wonder if 20 homers could ever happen again, and all he did was go out and obliterate his previous career high and hit 33 homers, including 7 at home as a righty. He even hit a comfy .269 at home, but really struggled away from Baltimore with a .212 average in other parks and was particularly bad from the left side of the plate on the road (.194.) His StatCast profile has a healthy shade of red in the right areas except for a below average chase rate and a league average walk rate. He has now hit just below league average in two consecutive seasons after hitting above it in the previous two, but you are targeting him for homers and RBIs while hoping for a batting average rebound. He would be a 40-homer threat in most any other ballpark in baseball. Read Past Outlooks

Returns from elbow soreness
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that Santander wasn't available for Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers due to left elbow soreness, but Santander will start in right field and bat fourth in Sunday's series finale, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The one-day respite was apparently enough for Santander to move past the elbow issue. Ryan McKenna will move back to the bench Sunday to clear a spot in the outfield for Santander.

Hopes were high for Santander, though 2020's breakthrough was obviously suspect. Unfortunately, Santander fell off across the board, though his production was likely hampered with lingering ankle soreness. Santander missed a month early with a sprained ankle, then sat out several games the rest of the season to manage residual soreness. His September was cut short with knee and hamstring woes. Santander posted the highest K% of his career as his contact on swings outside of the zone dropped 5%. His power drop resulted from a slight dip in fly balls and HR/FB along with more strikeouts. None were egregious, but the combination resulted in a career low ISO and wOBA since becoming a regular. Santander is ripe for a rebound, but not to 2020's level. He has the makings of a compiler (without speed), in a fledgling lineup and good park. Last season's injuries are a concern, but they lower the market price.
