| News: Santiago allowed three runs over 3.1 innings and did not factor in the decision Saturday against the Angels. | Impact: He gave up four hits while walking four and striking out two. The walks were very costly for Santiago and were ultimately responsible for his early exit. It's been a struggle over his last two outings as he has allowed nine runs and five walks over nine innings. His record on the season remains at 1-2 to accompany a 2.78 ERA and 33 strikeouts.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Santiago will likely remain in the rotation after John Danks returns from the disabled list, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. | Impact: The rotation squeeze will come down to Santiago and Dylan Axelrod, and it looks like the team prefers to keep Santiago in the starting five. Santiago has been excellent in his three starts since joining the rotation -- 20:5 K:BB, 2.00 ERA, .215 BAA -- but two of those starts have come against the Mets and Twins.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Santiago struck out six batters and gave up six runs (three earned) over 5.2 innings in Monday's 10-3 loss to the Twins. | Impact: It wasn't a particularly good day for Santiago, who still has a 2.00 ERA in his three starts. Though he's given up three home runs in those three outings, he also owns an impressive 20:5 K:BB ratio during that span, which suggests that he can offer something as a starter. Santiago's next outing is scheduled for Saturday in Anaheim.(RotoWire, ) |
| Tue. May 7, 2013 | |
| News: Santiago tossed seven scoreless innings Tuesday against the Mets, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out eight and not factoring in the decision. | Impact: Santiago just happened to have the bad luck of matching up against Matt Harvey, who almost tossed a perfect game. Santiago's spot in the White Sox rotation should be pretty safe if he continues to pitch at or near this level. He has now given up one earned run over his last 12.1 innings while striking out 14, and is worth a look in most formats. His next test will be Monday in Minnesota.(RotoWire, ) |
| Fri. May 3, 2013 | |
| News: Santiago allowed two hits in five-plus innings filling in for Jake Peavy on Thursday night, and the Chicago White Sox beat Texas 3-1, handing the Rangers their first series loss of the season. | Impact: Santiago (1-1, 2.29 ERA), whose first seven appearances this season were in relief, allowed just one hit through five innings, Adrian Beltre's home run in the second. The 25-year-old Santiago was supposed to replace Gavin Floyd on Friday night in Kansas City, where the forecast is for temperatures barely above freezing a day after the Royals were snowed out against Tampa Bay. Instead, Santiago replaced Peavy, sidelined by back spasms, on a 44-degree night in Texas.(STATS, 3:03pm) |

| News: Peavy has been scratched from Thursday night's start against the Texas Rangers because of back spasms. Left-hander Hector Santiago will make his first start of the season in Peavy's place. | Impact: Santiago is 0-1 with a 2.51 ERA in seven relief appearances this season. He made four starts last year, going 2-0 with a 1.86 ERA.(STATS, 4:23pm) |
