Twins, sans Sano, host Tigers

Miguel Sano won't be in the Minnesota Twins' starting lineup Wednesday when they host the Detroit Tigers at Target Field, but manager Paul Molitor isn't ruling out a return before the regular season comes to an end this weekend.

Sano has been sidelined since suffering a left knee injury earlier this month at Houston. The injury was originally diagnosed as a bruised leg and an MRI showed no structural damage to the knee, which he had surgically repaired in November.

He's made progress in his recovery but still isn't 100 percent, so the Twins have been taking a patient approach with their third baseman.
