Santiago (back) will resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.
Santiago has had his rehab assignment with Rochester shut down twice already. The lefty received a cortisone shot to address inflammation in his back, and it appears the injection has eased any pain he was experiencing. After throwing a bullpen session last week without issue, Santiago will begin the rehab stint again, but he may need multiple starts before being activated from the 10-day disabled list. It's unclear whether the playoff-contending Twins will view Santiago as a starting option upon his return to the big club; they may prefer to use him as a long reliever.
