Dennis Santana, Pittsburgh Pirates, Out on Bereavement List as of April 29, 2025

Dennis Santana has been performing well this season with a 1.46 ERA over 13 games. He has not allowed any runs in his last three games and has secured one save. Santana's absence might impact the Pirates' bullpen, as he has been effective in late innings.

With Santana out, David Bednar might see more closing opportunities. The Pirates are set to play the Chicago Cubs at PNC Park next. The team will rely on other relievers like Caleb Ferguson and Chase Shugart during this period.
