Johan Santana will throw five innings or 75 pitches in an extended spring training game on Tuesday before his next step is determined.

The left-hander has an opt-out clause at the end of the month in the Minor League deal that he signed in the offseason.

That's open for discussion. I think the June 1 date was a date we had in mind that he would be close to being ready for the big leagues," Dane Duquette said. "It's a fluid situation."

Santana, 35, has not pitched in a major league game since Aug. 17, 2012.
