Ervin Santana Headed To Rochester For Rehab Start
Jul. 11, 2018
Minnesota Twins right-hander Ervin Santana (finger) will head to Triple-A Rochester to make his next rehab start. Team manager Paul Molitor said it was "not a consideration" to have Santana called up to the big leagues to make a start on Sunday. Santana has allowed three runs in seven innings over his rehab stint, which up until this point has been spent in the Twins' lower levels. The veteran hurler had finger surgery in February and has been on the disabled list all season. He could return to Minnesota's rotation after the All-Star break.

Ervin Santana Will Continue Rehab On Thursday
Jul. 4, 2018
Minnesota Twins right-hander Ervin Santana (finger) is scheduled to make his second rehab start on Thursday. The veteran pitcher is expected to throw either 60 pitches or four innings this time for the Class A Fort Myers Miracle. Santana has missed the entire season after having surgery on the middle finger of his pitching hand this past February. He posted an excellent season for the Twins in 2017, winning 16 games with a 3.28 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 167 strikeouts in 33 starts. He should rejoin the Twins rotation after the All-Star break and is worth a look if he's on waivers in your fantasy league.

Ervin Santana Will Make Another Rehab Start on Thursday
Jul. 4, 2018
Minnesota Twins starter Ervin Santana (finger) will make his second rehab start at High-A Fort Myers on Thursday. He allowed one run through three innings during his first start last Saturday. Santana has yet to play in the majors this season due to offseason surgery on his finger. While he should be returning to the Twins rotation soon, there is a cause for concern as his velocity has dropped three mph from last season. At best, Santana will be a back-end fantasy starter in deeper leagues. He should stay on the waiver wire for now.

Jul. 2, 2018
Santana (finger) resumed his rehab assignment Saturday with High-A Fort Myers, tossing three innings of one-run ball. He gave up two hits and no walks and struck out two while tossing 36 pitches (29 strikes).

Ervin Santana Pitches Three Innings In Rehab Start
Jul. 1, 2018
Minnesota Twins right-hander Ervin Santana (finger) allowed one run in three innings in his Saturday rehab start for the Class A Fort Myers Miracle. Santana gave up two hits and struck out two in the ballgame. Santana's fastball topped out at 90 MPH, about three MPH lower than what he has averaged in 2017. Santana had surgery on the middle finger of his throwing hand in February and has yet to make a start for the Twins in 2018. If he continues to progress, a mid-July return to the mound is likely.
Ervin Santana To Begin Rehab Assignment Saturday
Jun. 26, 2018
Minnesota Twins right-hander Ervin Santana (finger) completed a successful live bullpen session on Tuesday. The veteran right-hander is now scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Class A Fort Myers this Saturday. Santana has been on the disabled list all season after undergoing surgery on his right middle finger in February. It remains to be seen how many rehab appearances he will need before joining the big league team but a July return to the majors seems likely. He's worth stashing if you have an open DL spot on your fantasy squad.

Minnesota Twins right-hander Ervin Santana (finger) completed another 35-pitch bullpen session on Friday. The veteran right-hander threw as shortstop Jorge Polanco stood in and took some swings. Santana did the same this past Tuesday and is scheduled to throw again Monday of next week. The right-handed hurler has been sidelined since having finger surgery in February. If he continues to progress, Santana could return to the Twins sometime in July.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Ervin Santana (finger) threw a 35-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday. He used all his pitches and is scheduled to throw live batting practice on Friday.

Ervin Santana Plays Catch Thursday
Jun. 9, 2018
Minnesota Twins right-hander Ervin Santana (finger) played catch on Thursday. Santana has been sidelined all season after having surgery on the middle finger of his pitching hand back in February. He was on a rehab assignment last week when he felt discomfort in the finger, which ended that. Santana is expected to work off a mound next Thursday. At this point, it looks like Santana won't be back with the Twins until mid-July at best.

Ervin Santana To Resume Throwing
Jun. 5, 2018
Minnesota Twins right-hander Ervin Santana (finger) got good news a week after leaving a rehab start early after feeling discomfort in his finger. Santana was examined this week by the same doctor who performed the surgery on his right middle finger in February and no further damage was found. There's a chance Santana could resume throwing as early as Thursday. The setback last week does cloud Santana's estimated return to the mound, however. He might not return to a big league mound until July.

Ervin Santana Pulled From Rehab Assignment
May. 30, 2018
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Ervin Santana (finger) was pulled off his minor league rehab assignment due to discomfort in his surgically-repaired right middle finger. Santana allowed three runs through 5 1/3 innings in two starts and he struggled heavily with his command. He has been out all season and the Twins do not have a timetable for Santana's return. He's going to visit his finger surgeon this week, but fantasy owners without a disabled list slot available should just go ahead and drop Santana.
Ervin Santana Struggles With Command In Rehab Start
May. 30, 2018
Minnesota Twins right-hander Ervin Santana (finger) made his second rehab start at Class-A on Tuesday. The veteran pitched 3 1/3 innings, allowing one run on two hits while striking out three. He threw 59 pitches in the outing, hit one batter, and threw a wild pitch while his fastball sat around 88-89 MPH. The wildness is a bit of a concern but he is understandably rusty after having finger surgery back in February. Santana has now made two rehab starts as he took the mound last Wednesday for Minnesota's Double-A affiliate. He is expected to need at least a few more rehab starts before he is ready to join the big league staff. A mid-June return is probably the best-case scenario for him.
Ervin Santana To Make Rehab Start Tuesday
May. 29, 2018
Minnesota Twins right-hander Ervin Santana (finger) will make a second rehab start with the Class-A Fort Myers Miracle on Tuesday. Santana has been on the disabled list the entire season after having surgery on his right middle finger back in February. Santana's first rehab start came last Wednesday, where he allowed two runs in two innings. He could return to the Minnesota rotation by mid-June if all goes smoothly.

Santana's rehab start for Double-A Chattanooga on Wednesday did not go as well as expected and he'll next throw for High-A Fort Myers on Tuesday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "He's been throwing for a while, but he hasn't got everything back, in terms of how he's spinning it and how hard he can throw it," manager Paul Molitor said. Santana is on the 60-day DL after offseason finger surgery.

Ervin Santana Will Throw 60 Pitches in Rehab Outing
May. 22, 2018
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Ervin Santana (finger) will throw 60 pitches in his first minor league rehab start on Wednesday. He had his scheduled start with Double-A Chattanooga rained out, so the team pushed it back to Wednesday. Santana will move onto a 75-pitch outing May 28 at Triple-A Rochester. There could be one more rehab start after that, but the Twins have not determined whether or not Santana will need a third start. Santana does have value in some leagues, but he is not expected to return until around June.

He continues to work his way back from a procedure he had on his middle finger in early February. Santana is likely going to return in mid-June, but that depends if the weather is on his side.

May. 2, 2018
Minnesota Twins right-hander Ervin Santana (finger) threw 15 pitches off a mound on Tuesday in Fort Myers, the first time he threw off of a mound since undergoing finger surgery in February. This is a big step in the right direction for Santana as he works his way back to the big leagues. Manager Paul Molitor did tell reporters that Santana probably won't throw any sliders, yet.

Ervin Santana Close To Throwing Off A Mound
Apr. 23, 2018
Minnesota Twins right-hander Ervin Santana (finger) is progressing well in his rehab after having surgery on the middle finger of his pitching hand back in February. His finger has fared well in his recently started throwing program and he should be ready to progress to throwing off of a mound soon. Manager Paul Molitor said, "His long toss and his throwing program has gone extremely well. He's had no issues, as they had hoped. The finger extension is getting better the more he throws." Pitchers generally need six weeks of spring training to get their arms ready to pitch, but Santana may not need quite that long because of the shoulder exercise program he has been able to participate in. Look for Santana to be back in the big leagues sometime around late May or early June.

Ervin Santana To Begin Throwing Program Wednesday
Apr. 11, 2018
According to Minnesota Twins manager Paul Molitor, right-hander Ervin Santana will begin a throwing program on Wednesday. It is a step in the right direction as Santana has been sidelined since having capsular release surgery on his right middle finger in early February. The veteran right-hander missed all of spring training and will have to start all over again beginning on Wednesday. It will probably be somewhere between 4-6 weeks before he's back on a big league mound. Santana won 16 games and posted a 3.28 ERA in 2017.

Ervin Santana Will Meet With Team Doctors Tuesday
Apr. 9, 2018
Minnesota Twins right-hander Ervin Santana (finger) is scheduled to fly back to Minneapolis on Monday evening and will meet with team doctors on Tuesday. Santana is still recovering after having surgery on the middle finger of his throwing hand back in February. As of now, Santana still has not been cleared to throw but hopefully he gets good news after team doctors get a chance to examine his injured digit. Santana essentially missed all of spring training due to the injury so he will need at least six weeks to get his arm in pitching shape. At this point, it looks like June will be the earliest Santana could return to the mound in a big league game.

Ervin Santana Hoping To Throw Next Week
Apr. 6, 2018
Updating a previous report, Minnesota Twins right-hander Ervin Santana (finger) is hoping to resume throwing some time in the next week. The veteran pitcher had surgery on his right middle finger on Feb. 6 to remove a calcium deposit and is hoping to be able to progress to throwing soon. Santana is heading to New York next week for a checkup on the digit, where he will hope to get cleared by his doctor. His initial timetable after the injury was 10 to 12 weeks, but it is looking more likely fantasy owners won't see Santana until mid-May at the earliest.
Ervin Santana Not Yet Cleared To Throw
Apr. 5, 2018
Minnesota Twins right-hander Ervin Santana still has not been cleared to throw following February surgery on the middle finger on his pitching hand. Santana may go back for another exam on the finger, suggesting it may not be healing as expected. Manager Paul Molitor told reporters that it is, "Just one of those fluid situations." Santana's original timetable put his return date sometime in late April but it is safe to assume he won't be ready to pitch by then, considering he hasn't thrown a ball yet. Santana has been very durable over his MLB career, making at least 30 starts in seven of the past eight seasons.
