Santana was coming off an All-Star season in 2017, but ended up missing most of the year due to a finger injury. He curiously decided to delay surgery to remove a calcium deposit from his right middle finger until Feb. 6. The Twins initially expected the right-hander to return in April. However, his comeback had several setbacks and took longer than expected. When he did return to the mound in August, his finger issues limited his velocity and the results were ugly. Santana averaged just 89 mph on his fastball after averaging around 92 mph each of the previous nine seasons. After giving up 16 runs and nine homers in five starts, he was shut down. When healthy in 2017, Santana had his best average fastball velocity since 2008, but was still pitching over his head (3.28 ERA, 4.46 FIP, 7.1 K/9). His option for 2019 was declined, and the troublesome rehab and perplexing drop in velocity suggest the 36-year-old's career may be nearing a close.
