No word yet on the corresponding moves, but these two look to be a welcome addition after today’s game.
Contreras has a 2.66 ERA in 20.1 innings over five starts in Triple-A, with a 24:11 K/BB. He’s already appeared in the majors this year, but was sent down to gain an extra year of control get stretched out as a starter.
De Los Santos has been a lights out reliever, with a 1.72 ERA in 15.2 innings over 12 appearances, along with a 20:2 K/BB. He could provide a challenge to Heath Hembree in the single-inning section of the bullpen.
