To make room for Marinaccio, the Pirates designated right-hander Dennis Santana for assignment. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marinaccio made 33 appearances for the Padres this season and went 1-0 with a 4.79 ERA. In 47 innings, he allowed 50 hits, walked 18 and struck out 38.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In five seasons between the Yankees and Padres, the 31-year-old is 7-5 with a 3.50 ERA in 141 relief appearances. He\u2019s recorded two saves with 187 strikeouts in 172.1 innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Santana struggled out of the bullpen for the Pirates this season. The 30-year-old logged 44 appearances and went 2-5 with a 6.05 ERA. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Santana joined the Pirates in the middle of the 2024 season and established himself as the team\u2019s closer after David Bednar was traded last year. In 70 appearances a year ago, Santana went 4-5 with a 2.18 ERA and 16 saves. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMentioned in this article: <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghbaseballnow.com\/tag\/dennis-santana\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dennis Santana<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghbaseballnow.com\/tag\/pittsburgh-pirates\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghbaseballnow.com\/tag\/ron-marinaccio\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ron Marinaccio<\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"categories single-categories\">More about:<a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghbaseballnow.com\/pirates-transactions\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pirates Transactions<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo provided by Matt Lynch The Pirates acquired right-handed pitcher Ron Marinaccio from the Padres for international bonus&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":251722,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[71329,73,75,74,10997,72170],"class_list":["post-251721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-dennis-santana","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-pittsburgh-pirates","tag-ron-marinaccio"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251721"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251721\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
