KEY GAME INFORMATION
MINNESOTA: 2016: 59-103, fifth place.
Manager: Paul Molitor (third season). He's Here: C Jason Castro, RHP Matt Belisle, SS Ehire Adrianza, LHP Craig Breslow. He's Outta Here: 3B Trevor Plouffe, C Kurt Suzuki, LHP Tommy Milone, RHP Pat Light.
Projected lineup: 2B Brian Dozier (.268, 42, 99, 18/20 SBs), RF Max Kepler (.235, 17, 63), CF Byron Buxton (.225, 10 HRs, 38 RBIs, 118 Ks in 298 ABs), 1B Joe Mauer (.261, 11, 49), 3B Miguel Sano (.236, 25, 66, 178 Ks in 437 ABs), DH Kennys Vargas (.230, 10, 20 in 152 ABs), LF Eddie Rosario (.269, 10, 32), C Jason Castro (.210, 11, 32 with Houston), SS Jorge Polanco (.282, 4, 27 in 245 ABs).
Rotation: RH Ervin Santana (7-11, 3.38 ERA, 149 Ks), RH Phil Hughes (1-7, 5.95, 11 HRs, 11 starts), LH Hector Santiago (3-6, 5.58, 13 HRs, 11 starts after trade with Angels), RH Kyle Gibson (6-11, 5.07, 1.561 WHIP), LH Adalberto Mejia (rookie).
Key relievers: RH Brandon Kintzler (0-2, 3.15, 17/20 saves), RH Matt Belisle (0-0, 1.76 in 40 games for Nationals), RH Ryan Pressly (6-7, 3.70, 1 save in 72 games), LH Taylor Rogers (3-1, 3.96, 64 Ks in 57 games), LH Craig Breslow (0-2, 4.50 in 15 games for Marlins). Hot Spot: Starting Rotation. The resuscitation of a team with the worst record in the majors last season must begin with starting pitching that ranked 30th out of 30 in wins (37), ERA (5.39) and strikeouts (655). Hughes, Santiago, Gibson and Berrios will all be counted on to make 2016 the aberration and not the standard. Adding Castro, who has a strong reputation for game calling and pitch framing, probably can't hurt. There's enough depth in the group at least to give the Twins a chance to return to respectability as new baseball chief Derek Falvey continues to try to revamp organizational philosophy and process for the long term. The bullpen appears more vulnerable than the rotation, despite being bolstered by the addition of the veteran Belisle. Three-time All-Star closer Glen Perkins is still working his way back from surgery last year to repair a torn labrum and will likely land on the disabled list to start the season. Kintzler fared well in his place, but doesn't have a track record.
Outlook: The Twins ranked a respectable sixth in the American League in total bases and eighth in OPS despite their abysmal record last year. Buxton's sparkling September, following a second straight frustrating summer, restored his and the club's confidence in the 2012 second overall draft pick. Dozier probably hit his power ceiling in 2016, but if Buxton and Sano can strike out less and get on base more there's the potential in place for a productive offense. Vargas hit his way back into contention for the DH spot with a decent finish to 2016, but the pressure is on him to prove he's worth a spot in the lineup with a strong performance this spring by Park, who struggled badly to adjust to major league pitching in his arrival from South Korea last year.

Manager: John Farrell (fifth season)
Who's new? LHP Chris Sale, RHP Tyler Thornburg, 1B Mitch Moreland, OF Steve Selsky

Projected lineup: 2B Dustin Pedroia (.318, 15 HR, 74 RBI), LF Andrew Benintendi (.295, 2, 14 in 34 games), SS Xander Bogaerts (.294, 21, 89, 13 SB), RH Mookie Betts (.318, 31, 113), DH Hanley Ramirez (.286, 30, 111) CF Jackie Bradley Jr. (.267, 26, 87), 3B Pablo Sandoval (.000, 0, 0 in three games), 1B Mitch Moreland (.233, 22, 60 with Rangers), C Sandy Leon (.310, 7, 35) or Christian Vazquez (.224, 1, 12)
Rotation: LH Chris Sale (17-10, 3.34 ERA), RH Rick Porcello (22-4, 3.15), RH Steven Wright (13-6, 3.33), LH Drew Pomeranz (3-5, 4.59), LH Eduardo Rodriguez (3-7, 4.71)
Key relievers: RH Craig Kimbrel (2-6, 3.40, 31/33 SV), RH Tyler Thornburg (8-5, 2.15 with Brewers), RH Joe Kelly (4-0, 5.18), LH Robbie Ross (3-2, 3.25), RH Matt Barnes (4-3, 4.05), LH Fernando Abad (1-6, 3.66 with Twins and Red Sox), RH Heath Hembree (4-1, 2.65)
Hot spots: Third base. Is this the year Sandoval is known more for his ability to play baseball than his physique? Sandoval, who missed all but three games last year because of a shoulder injury, showed up to spring training looking slimmer than years past. His production at the plate and agility on the field followed suit in the Grapefruit League. The Red Sox have shown they aren't afraid to take playing time away from the Panda if he doesn't deserve it. Josh Rutledge, a competent fielder and perhaps a better hitter against left-handers, is around just in case.
Outlook: Boston scored more runs than any team in baseball last year, and this year's club has the pitching to avoid another early playoff exit. Newcomer Sale is the best left-hander in the AL, an ace in his prime. Porcello is the reigning Cy Young Award winner. David Price, when he returns from an elbow injury, gives the Red Sox arguably the best 1-2-3 punch in the league. Ortiz retired, but he'll leave a bigger hole in the hearts of fans than in the lineup. Benintendi is a candidate for the AL Rookie of the Year award, while Betts played like an MVP at age 23. A bounceback season from Sandoval would give opposing pitchers no chance to breathe. Triple-A depth shouldn't be enough of an issue to prevent the Sox from challenging the Indians for the pennant.
PREVIEW
Santiago returns for Twins vs. Red Sox
 

BOSTON -- Hector Santiago will try to keep the ball in the park when he comes off the disabled list to pitch for the Minnesota Twins in the second game of a four-game series against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.

The left-hander, out since June 7 with a left shoulder strain, has allowed 14 home runs in 65 innings this season, four of the long balls coming in his past two outings. Santiago (4-6, 5.26 ERA) totaled just 8 2/3 innings in those two starts.

He lost each of his past four games and is 0-5 in his past six appearances.

Asked after the Twins' 4-1 loss to Boston on Monday what he expects from Santiago, Twins manager Paul Molitor said: "Hopefully something good. I'm sure he's hungry. You know, you get what you do taken away from you for a little while and have to go down and rehab and get yourself prepared.

"I think he's feeling strong. We know he's got experience. It's obviously a good lineup to try to navigate through, but just go out there and compete and do what you do and hopefully we get a chance when we get to the later stage of the ballgame."

Santiago will face fellow lefty Drew Pomeranz, who hasn't won in his last three starts (one loss) but has pitched to a 3.00 ERA over his last seven. Pomeranz (6-4, 4.07 ERA) struck out 43 and walked 11 in 39 innings in the seven-game span.

Pomeranz went 6 1/3 innings and allowed two runs in a no-decision at Kansas City on Wednesday. That outing followed a 6 1/3-inning, one-run no-decision at Houston on June 16 after he was tagged for six runs in 4 1/3 innings against Detroit on June 11.

In short, he has been far more efficient than the guy who threw 123 pitches in five innings in a road win over the New York Yankees on June 6.

"He's attacked the strike zone with much more regularity," Red Sox manager John Farrell said Monday. "It's allowed his pitch efficiency to be improved. I think there's been a few more cutters inside of a ballgame, the use of the changeup has started to come into the mix a little bit more.

"The attack plan against him has been fastball, curveball, but the fact that he's got two other pitches he makes hitters conscious of or aware of, I think that's slowed them down a little bit and maybe reduced some of the foul balls and the high pitch counts that have been part of his starts."

Santiago is 3-3 lifetime against the Red Sox, winning his last three times out against Boston. He is 1-2 with a 4.19 ERA in four starts at Fenway Park.

Xander Bogaerts has hit him to the tune of 6-for-11 (.545), while Mitch Moreland is 5-for-15 (.333). On the flip side, Jackie Bradley Jr. is 0-for-7 against him.

Pomeranz is 1-1 with a 6.75 ERA in two appearances (one start) against the Twins, both coming when he was pitching for the Oakland A's in 2015. Current Twins batter are a collective of nine hits in 31 at-bats against him, with Jason Castro 0-for-6 with four strikeouts.

With the Monday win, the Red Sox (42-34) remain a percentage point behind the New York Yankees in the American League East.

Minnesota (39-35) lost for the second time in seven games and fell back into second place, a half-game behind the Cleveland Indians in the AL Central.
