Phillies Send OF Domingo Santana to Astros in Pence Deal

The Astros have acquired outfielder Domingo Santana from the Phillies to complete the July 30 trade for outfielder Hunter Pence.

Houston had previously received outfielder Jonathan Singleton and pitchers Jarred Cosart and Josh Zeid in the deal. Singleton and Cosart had been considered the top prospects in the Phillies’ system.

The 19-year-old Santana, ranked as Philadelphia’s No. 9 prospect by Baseball America, was hitting .269 with seven homers in 96 games for Single-A Lakewood this season. He will be assigned to Houston’s Class-A affiliate in Lexington.
