LHP Hector Santiago, on the 10-day disabled list with shoulder soreness since June 7,played long toss from a distance of 200 feet on Tuesday and will throw a bullpen session on Thursday before being re-evaluated. "We'll get a little better indication when he gets on the mound tomorrow and throws a side," Twins manager Paul Molitor said Wednesday. "Then we'll have to think about if he's going to need to throw another side, if he's going to potentially be activated sometime relatively close to his date that he can return."

LHP Hector Santiago was placed on the 10-day disabled list with shoulder soreness. Santiago lasted just 2 2/3 innings in Tuesday's series opener in Seattle, allowing five runs in a 12-3 defeat. "He just didn't feel quite right warming up," Twins manager Paul Molitor said. "He tried to get loose (Wednesday) but said he was OK, not great. There's a lot of season to go. The 10-day DL is the right thing to try to get him back 100 percent."

LHP Hector Santiago (4-6) allowed just three hits over 2 2/3 innings Tuesday, but he struggled with his control. He walked four batters. "He walked four guys the first three innings and they all scored," Twins manager Paul Molitor said. "That just puts you in a bad spot."

LHP Hector Santiago (4-5) suffered his third straight loss on Wednesday. He pitched six innings, yielding six runs on eight hits and two walks. He allowed three homers to Houston. The six runs matched a season high. The three homers allowed matched a career high. It was just the second time this year Santiago had allowed four-plus runs, but he's now allowed 10 homers in his last 20 innings. Santiago had a 2.43 ERA in April, followed by a 6.88 ERA in seven games in May.

But Minnesota had used each of its relievers, leading to Santiago making an unexpected relief appearance. Manager Paul Molitor said Santiago will still start Wednesday's home game against the Houston Astros.

LHP Hector Santiago (4-3) tied his season-high with six strikeouts in just 5 1/3 innings against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday, but Santiago was facing a dominant Chris Archer.

Santiago has struggled against left-handed hitters this season, and on Sunday, left-handers were 3-for-5 against him, including two home runs. "The left-handers got him," said Twins manager Paul Molitor. For the season overall, left-handed hitters are hitting .429 (9-for-21) against Santiago. "Last year his splits were even, but this year it's been a struggle for him (against left-handers)," Molitor said. "He doesn't see them a lot, but that stat kind of jumps out at you."

LHP Hector Santiago (4-1) won his third decision in a row Tuesday after limiting the Chicago White Sox to two runs on three hits in 6 2/3 innings. Santiago walked five and struck out six. He has allowed three earned runs or fewer in eight consecutive starts dating to the end of the 2016 season.

LHP Hector Santiago was a hard-luck loser Tuesday. He gave up two runs and three hits in 6 2/3 innings at Detroit, with the only blemish being a two-run homer he surrendered to James McCann. Santiago allowed three earned runs in his first two outings. "He didn't back down from anybody and got some outs on changeups, too," manager Paul Molitor said. "He has to get that breaking ball a little bit sharper but you can't fault anyone when a guy goes that long into the game and only gives up two runs."
