Ervin Santana has started his Minor League rehab assignment for the Minnesota Twins. Last night, Santana toed the rubber for the first time during the 2018 season. Unfortunately, things didn’t go very well for him while pitching for Chattanooga.
Facing the Montgomery Biscuits, Santana surrendered one home run while allowing two earned runs across two innings pitched. Santana exited the game with one strikeout and zero walks after 45 pitches.
Although he didn’t dominate during his start on Wednesday night, this is a big step forward for Santana. Santana is on course to rejoin the Twins rotation soon, barring any setbacks.
