What It Means:

Santiago was scheduled to take the mound Wednesday, but the Twins shook their rotation up a bit, pushing the date back. A bruised left thumb kept the 28-year-old left-hander out of his last start. He owns a brutal 10.89 ERA in four starts (19 innings) since joining Minnesota.

Santiago owns a 5.16 ERA and 5.25 xFIP in 139 2/3 innings this season for both the Twins and Los Angeles Angels. We currently project the struggles to continue over the rest of the year, forecasting the southpaw to record a 4.24 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP across 38 1/3 frames.
