Miguel Sano (shin) likely to come off Twins' bench in Tuesday's Wild Card game

Minnesota Twins third baseman/designated hitter Miguel Sano will likely be on the bench for Tuesday's Wild Card Game against the New York Yankees, manager Paul Molitor said.

What It Means:

Sano won't be in the starting lineup, but he will be available off the Twins' bench. In Sano's first series back after missing almost six weeks with a stress reaction in his shin, the 24-year-old went 1-for-8 with 3 strikeouts.

Over 111 games this season, Sano slashed .267/.356/.514 with an .870 OPS while recording 28 home runs, 77 RBI, and 75 runs scored across 475 plate appearances with 11.9 FanDuel points per game.
