Johan Santana’s comeback began Tuesday night, pitching two scoreless innings in the Venezuelan Winter League, and the Yankees were among the teams in attendance.

It was the left-hander’s first game on a mound since he tore an Achilles tendon while pitching an extended spring training game last June with the Orioles.

The Achilles injury was the most recent setback for Santana, who will turn 36 in March. He was on the Yankees’ radar a year ago before he signed with Baltimore, when he was recovering from 2012 shoulder surgery.

That was also the last year Santana appeared in the majors, when he went 6-9 with a 4.85 ERA for the Mets.

The pair of surgeries took away much of Santana’s velocity and scouts who saw him said he was relying more on guile than power.

Nevertheless, the Yankees remain intrigued by the possibility of bringing in Santana and will “keep an eye on him,” according to a source.

After being traded to the Mets prior to the 2008 season, Santana went 46-34 with a 3.18 ERA despite being hampered by injuries. He finished third in the NL Cy Young Award race in 2008. He won the AL Cy Young in 2004 and 2006 with the Twins.
