Veteran first baseman Carlos Santana's third stint with the Cleveland Guardians appears to be ending after less than a year.

The Cleveland Guardians placed longtime first baseman Carlos Santana on outright waivers Tuesday, multiple outlets reported, likely ending the slugger's third go-round with the club.

The move to place Santana on waivers — which allows the 29 other big league clubs to claim him — comes as the Guardians have gone 1-9 over their last 10 games and have slipped to 12 1/2 games back of the first-place Tigers in the American League Central and six games back of a wild-card spot.
