Miguel Sano's recovery from the stress reaction in his left shin suffered a minor setback Thursday at Target Field, Molitor said. Sano, out since Aug. 19 after fouling a ball off his leg, did some light running Wednesday, "and got through it," Molitor said, "but [Thursday] he was sore from having done that for the first time."

Sano had been scheduled to take batting practice on the field, Molitor said, "but we ended up limiting him to just hitting off the tee. We'll see if we can get on the field [Friday]."
