Molitor rests Sano due to balky hamstring

If the Twins were out of contention, they might have the option to rest their prized rookie for more than just a day. But with the calendar having flipped to September and the Twins just a game back of the Rangers for the second American League Wild Card spot, Sano has proven too valuable to take out for an extended period of time, despite a nagging right hamstring strain.

Sano has been noticeably hampered on the basepaths the past few days.
