MLB Note - Minnesota Twins Sano, Miguel

Jul 29, 2017 - 8:20 AM 3B Miguel Sano (bruised left hand) returned to the lineup Friday night against Oakland after missing two games. He was hit by a pitch on Monday against the Dodgers. Sano, who started at third base and hit third in the order, went 1-for-5. "The lineup looks better with his name in it," Twins manager Paul Molitor said before the Twins' 6-3 victory. "He went early today and took some batting practice, and I thought it started out a little bit like was feeling his way, but he seemed to gain more confidence in that hand bruise with each swing that he took. And he wants to play, so thankfully we got a chance to put him back in there."
