The Minnesota Twins are looking even more dangerous entering the playoffs.
The Twins activated Miguel Sano from the disabled list on Friday. Sano had been out with a stress reaction in his shin since August 19.
Sano had been doing some light running and other baseball-related activities since early September, but it took him about three weeks from that point to be ready for action.
The 24-year-old third baseman will return in time for the team’s final series of the regular season. The 3-game set with the Tigers could be a warm-up for Sano ahead of the team’s wild-card playoff game against the Yankees next week.
Sano is batting .267 with 15 doubles and 28 home runs on the season.
