Carlos Santana handles right field in Indians’ 6-3 Cactus League loss to Arizona Diamondbacks

In a virtual tuneup for the second series of the season, the Indians on Thursday night fell in a Cactus League game 6-3 to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Indians will play the Diamondbacks in the regular season following their season-opening series against the Texas Rangers.

In anticipation of playing under National League rules so early, Carlos Santana started in right field in an effort to give the Indians the option of keeping his bat in the lineup during that series. On Thursday night, and in windy conditions with the roof open at Chase Field, Santana fielded all four fly balls that were sent his way.
