Twins: Ervin Santana's rehab numbers have manager excited

CINCINNATI -- Twins manager Paul Molitor is looking forward to Ervin Santana's return on Sunday as much as anyone.

Those eight shutout innings Santana fired on Tuesday in his third and final rehab outing for Triple-A Rochester certainly registered in the manager's office.

"I just had a chance to look at the numbers," Molitor said. "They kind of jump out at you. He was efficient, obviously effective. Command must have been good; he didn't walk anybody. I think everyone is excited to know we're getting a pitcher of Ervin's caliber back here to join our club over the weekend.
