Minnesota Twins INF Miguel Sanó to have knee surgery; no timeline for return

BALTIMORE -- Minnesota Twins infielder Miguel Sanó will undergo surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his left knee, and there's no time frame for his return, manager Rocco Baldelli said Tuesday.

Sanó was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. He suffered the injury on April 26 while celebrating Minnesota's 5-4 victory over the Tigers, a game decided on the final play.

Sanó returned to play Saturday but left early because of knee pain.

"He did try to play through it but he did something during the course of that game, and we had to take him out," Baldelli said.
