Brewers' Carlos Santana: Churns out three hits
Santana went 3-for-6 with a double, two RBI and a run in Friday's 16-1 win over the Marlins.
Santana doubled home Christian Yelich for the fourth run in the Brewers' 12-run second inning and then plated Yelich again on a fifth-inning base hit. The 37-year-old has just three home runs to his name since Aug. 20, but he's hitting .275 and getting on base at a .353 clip over that stretch to keep his spot secure in Milwaukee's everyday lineup.

Brewers' Carlos Santana: Blasts 17th home run
Santana went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's victory over Texas.
Santana's seventh inning blast put the Brewers in front to stay.

The imminent return of Rowdy Tellez (finger) could impact the veteran's playing time, but Santana figures to still be the primary option at first base with Tellez filling the DH spot.

Brewers' Carlos Santana: Goes yard again
Santana went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Santana's blast was one of just two hits for the Brewers in the contest. It was his second game in a row with a homer, though he's still hitting a meager .176 (9-for-51) in August. The first baseman is at a .226/.304/.405 slash line with 16 long balls, 60 RBI, 51 runs scored, six stolen bases and 25 doubles through 109 contests between the Brewers and the Pirates, but his Milwaukee stint has been largely unimpressive. He's also posted a 2:10 BB:K over 15 games with his new team, an unusually poor walk rate for the well-disciplined batter.

The 37-year-old is slashing .226/.305/.400 with 15 home runs, 59 RBI, 50 runs and a 47:78 BB:K in 453 plate appearances. With Rowdy Tellez (finger) set to return soon, Santana could begin to lose out on starts against right-handed pitching.

Brewers' Carlos Santana: Traded to Milwaukee
Santana was traded to the Brewers on Thursday in exchange for Jhonny Severino, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Santana is well past his prime at age 37, but he was sporting a decent .723 OPS with 12 home runs and 53 RBI through 94 games this season for the Pirates, who signed him to a one-year, $6.73 million contract over the winter and have now flipped him into a promising young shortstop prospect. Brewers first basemen have posted a combined .212/.272/.340 batting line this year, so Santana represents an upgrade at the position for Milwaukee. He can also cycle in at designated hitter.
