This will not be an easy test as Santander will have to face Red Sox ace, Garrett Crochet, for his first game back in the majors since late May.
The Blue Jays decided to put Santander fifth in the order which seems surprisingly high since he has not played in quite some time and the last time he played, struggled quite a bit.
At the same time, this move might end up giving Santander a big boost of confidence and give him some much needed momentum for the playoffs.
