Domingo Santana hasn’t been in the starting lineup in the past two series for the Milwaukee Brewers. His pinch hit appearances are few and far between. The player that knocked 30 home runs last year in a breakout season, has been effectively benched.
There’s nothing Santana has done to really deserve this benching, other than the fact that he has not been hitting as well in his opportunities. Santana has a .251/.316/.358 slash line with only three home runs and 17 RBIs. He hasn’t hit a home run since May 21st, making it a month since his last long ball.
