RHP Dennis Santana called up by Arizona, LHP Philip Abner designated for assignment

Dennis Santana, a 30-year-old right-handed reliever, has been called up by the Arizona Diamondbacks for their upcoming game against the Atlanta Braves. Santana, who has played for six different teams over his nine-year career, previously recorded 16 saves with the Pittsburgh Pirates last season. However, he was recently designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks, leaving him without a team.

In a related move, left-handed pitcher Philip Abner, who posted a 6.00 ERA in 13 appearances for the Diamondbacks this season, has been designated for assignment.
