"He's been really working hard at it," Indians hitting coach Ty Van Burkleo said. "I'd say right now it's really getting good, where he's got control of it. The launch position he's getting into has really been consistent and he's really taking some good swings."

Van Burkleo noted that the return of the toe tap has helped Santana avoid drifting forward while swinging -- a problem he has experienced off and on without it.
