CHICAGO -- Ervin Santana's finger injury already cost him several months of the season. Now it appears he might not pitch again in 2018.
Santana saw hand specialist Dr. Thomas Varecka and underwent X-rays on his right middle finger Tuesday, with Varecka expressing "concern about what he saw," Twins manager Paul Molitor said before Tuesday's game with the White Sox. Santana will have an MRI tomorrow, but it is "becoming a little less likely he'll pitch here the remainder of the season."
"I'm not sure where it's going to go," Molitor said.
