Ervin Santana To Return Wednesday
The Minnesota Twins are excited to welcome back right-hander Ervin Santana on Wednesday.
This will be the first time Santana has been available to play this season, after undergoing surgery to remove calcium deposits from his right middle finger. Santana was originally hoping to return to the field in May, but suffered several setbacks during his recovery. His first issue was not being able to grip the ball, followed by having trouble throwing his slider, and if those weren't enough his velocity was lacking too. So needless to say his road back was rough and took longer than expected.
Santana comes back at a great time for his teammates, adding a few extra days of rest for Kyle Gibson, Lance Lynn and Jake Odorizzi. Last season Santana ended with a 3.28 ERA and 167 strikeouts, he is worth adding to your team if you have room!
