What It Means:

Santana used his full repertoire of pitches and apparently felt good. He'll face live hitters on Friday and could begin another minor league rehab assignment soon after. The veteran right-hander has been out all season following a February surgical procedure on his right middle finger.

Our models project Santana for 82 innings pitched this season, with a 4.84 ERA, 17.9 percent strikeout rate, 8.1 percent walk rate, and a 5-5 record, assuming health.
