SEATTLE -- The Twins placed left-handed starter Hector Santiago on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday with left shoulder soreness and claimed right-handed pitcher Chris Heston, adding him to the 25-man roster.
Santiago had trouble warming up before his start against the Mariners in Seattle on Tuesday, according to Twins manager Paul Molitor, and experienced soreness in his shoulder while throwing Wednesday. Santiago struggled in Tuesday's 12-3 loss to the Mariners. Molitor said he doesn't expect it to be a long-term stay on the DL. Santiago repeated his sentiment.
"I played catch today and it felt OK," Santiago said.
