Sano's return from shin becoming less likely

NEW YORK -- Third baseman Miguel Sano accompanied the Twins to New York City for personal reasons, but he flew back to Minneapolis on Tuesday night to continue to rehab his left shin stress reaction at Target Field.

Twins manager Paul Molitor said there's not much new in terms of Sano's progress, which has been slow since he sustained the injury on a foul ball off his shin on Aug. 18. But with the regular season nearly over, Sano is running out of time to return, especially considering there are no Minor League games to play in and instructional league hasn't started in Florida because of Hurricane Irma.
