Santana is out of the lineup Saturday, the Star Tribune's LaVelle E. Neal reports.

Analysis:

Santana is currently striking out at a 31.7 percent clip, and considering his offensive superiority was supposed to be the separator between he and Eduardo Escobar, it's no surprise he is starting to sit a couple times per week. Escobar is easily the better defender at shortstop, so if the Twins want to put a poor hitter in the lineup at that position, it makes more sense for it to be Escobar than Santana.
