Alec Lewis of The Athletic talks to Carlos Santana about his late-season slide.

“I’m used to playing with injuries, but this one was very difficult,” Santana said. “I wasn’t able to use the back of my leg properly.”

Regardless, he kept playing. Then, when the season ended, the Royals imaged his leg and found a Grade 2 quad strain. It’s no wonder walking was difficult. The injury called for a platelet-rich plasma injection, requiring four to six weeks for recovery. That’s why Santana was speaking from Kansas City.
