Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com reports that Johan Santana (shoulder) is "feeling better than expected" so far in his rehab. It jibes with recent progress updates on the left-hander, as Santana began throwing off a mound last week and will reportedly audition for interested teams soon. The southpaw is coming back from surgery to repair a re-tear of his shoulder capsule, an operation that was performed last April.
