Johan Santana still starting??

[Leiter Fan]

Yahoo is listing Johan Santana as starting again this Wednesday, 6/18, against Kansas City. Has Gardenhire finally wised up and decided to keep Santana in the rotation??

[The Jury]

No, Yahoo's is incorrect, and they have been several times with different players. Santana is going back the pen now that Richard Reed is back from the DL. Santana will get a few days of rest since he threw 88 pitches last game, then he'll pitch again out of the pen. Actually Gardenhire is already making a wise move by keeping Santana in the bullpen until the playoffs, when which he will unleash his best pitcher as a starter and the league won't have seen much of him so they're be baffled.
