Santana was scheduled to start tomorrow in Florida.

There was a rumor going around that Santana was going to be placed on the DL tomorrow, which may prove to be true.

Santana is scheduled to see Dr. David Altcheck tomorrow at the Hospital for Special Surgery.

SNY also said that Santana has been experiencing this pain since the All-Star break.  The pain has kept him from throwing between starts.

Update – 5:19 p.m.: Nelson Figueroa will start tomorrow against the Marlins.
