Twins reinstate Santana from restricted list

CINCINNATI -- Right-hander Ervin Santana is set to make his return from his 80-game suspension on Sunday against the Royals, and manager Paul Molitor said the Twins are weighing their rotation options.

Santana made his third and final rehab start with Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, tossing eight scoreless innings, which sets him up to start in Kansas City on Sunday. Molitor said the Twins could decide to move a starter to the bullpen or option one to Triple-A Rochester, and he said they're also considering a six-man rotation in the short term.
