7 years agoMinnesota 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.--Matt T - RotoBaller
