It seemed like Anthony Santander had turned the corner during the shortened 2020 season. He had the hottest bat on the Orioles’ roster, and his glove was garnering national attention.

A slow start to the year and nagging injuries torpedoed his campaign before it ever really got going, and now there are massive questions about what his role on this team will be moving forward.
Santander was placed on the IL three separate times with two different injuries this season.
