Twins optioned INF Danny Santana, LHP Kris Johnson and C Eric Fryer to Triple-A Rochester; reassigned OFs Darin Mastroianni and Jermaine Mitchell and INFs James Beresford and Brandon Waring to minor league camp. Mastroianni had a shot to make the Opening Day roster as an extra outfielder, but it appears the Twins will carry Aaron Hicks instead. Santana's demotion likely means the club is confident that Pedro Florimon (appendectomy) will be ready for Opening Day.
