Santiago (shoulder) will throw long toss Tuesday and said he could start as soon as Saturday, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Santiago was placed on the 10-day DL on June 7 with shoulder inflammation, but an MRI showed no additional damage (though a previous report said he had a muscle strain). It seems like a stretch for him to return this week, so watch his status after his throwing session Tuesday. However, it sounds like he's making progress.
