Santana went 1-for-3 and scored his first run of the season during Saturday's win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Santana has only received 14 plate appearances over six games, so his virtual value is extremely limited. Additionally, after posting a respectable rookie campaign in 2014, Santana owns a .225/.258/.304 slash line with a .246 wOBA over 539 plate appearances since. You'll want to aim higher in most fantasy settings.

Santana has made Minnesota's final 25-man roster as a utility player, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Santana may not have made the 25-man roster if not for an injury to Ehire Adrianza. Santana will offer stole base potential even in a limited role, but he could lose his roster spot when Adrianza is ready to return from a oblique injury.

Santana started at second base and went 2-for-6 in Sunday's win over Boston. He's hitting .275 (11-for-40) with a home run this spring.
EDGE Analysis
Santana has been getting playing time at second base this spring as the Twins work to increase his versatility. He's trying to make the 25-man roster as a utility player, but he may lose out to Ehire Adrianza since the Twins may like a better fielder in the role.

Santana (shoulder) has been participating in drills early in spring training, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Santana suffered a season-ending Grade 2 shoulder strain in September, but should be fine as spring training begins. He'll try to win a utility role this spring, but the signing of Ehire Adrianza likely means he's not currently a favorite to win a roster spot.

Santana (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day DL on Tuesday, Brandon Warne of Cold Omaha reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Twins are set to recall James Beresford from Triple-A on Tuesday, so moving Santana to the 60-day DL will free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Santana, who was diagnosed with a Grade 2 shoulder strain last week, is expected to miss the remainder of the season.

Santana has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 shoulder sprain and will likely miss the rest of the season, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports.
EDGE Analysis
Santana will not require surgery on his shoulder, but his recovery timetable is 4-to-6 weeks, so he presumably will not play again in 2016. He should be back at 100 percent well in advance of spring training, when he will try to lock down a spot on the Twins' Opening Day roster.

Santana (shoulder) won't need surgery on his sprained AC joint, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Twins decided not to take any chances and placed him on the disabled list immediately even with the September roster expansion coming up. Now that surgery has been ruled out, there's still a chance Santana could play this season, but we'll have to see how his rehab goes before a return can be certain.

Santana (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day DL following Sunday's 9-6 loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Santana exited in the top half of the first inning with an AC sprain in his right shoulder, which he sustained during an outfield collision with teammate Robbie Grossman. The Twins' medical staff quickly determined that Santana's injury was more than a day-to-day concern, so he'll head to the DL in order for the team to bring aboard Logan Schafer from Triple-A Rochester as outfield depth. There's still a possibility that Santana could rejoin the Twins later in September if his rehab goes smoothly.

Santana was removed from Sunday's game against the Indians in the first inning with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Santana was making his fourth start in the past six games, but didn't log a single at-bat Sunday after suffering the injury in the top half of the inning during an outfield collision with teammate Robbie Grossman. Eddie Rosario came off the bench to replace Santana in center field. The Twins will continue to monitor Santana over the next few days to determine the extent of his injury, but with rosters set to expand Sept. 1, the team won't have to wait long to bring in depth options in the outfield if Santana needs to miss extended time.

Santana is out of the lineup Sunday against the Royals, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Santana had seen his playing time increase to open August, but that well dried up during the past week. He'll be on the bench for the sixth time in the last eight games, as manager Paul Molitor seems to have settled on Robbie Grossman as his primary option in left field.
