Not the best day in Twins Territory. As you have probably heard (and you can read about it here if you haven’t), Miguel Sano will undergo Tommy John surgery. There’s some updates below. Also the Twins played the Red Sox again and won again (you can read about that here). Here’s some more Sano and odds and ends from a busy day in Twins Territory.
Some updated doctor info for Sano.
UPDATE: Miguel Sano's surgery will take place in the next 10-14 days and will be performed by Dr. David Altchek in New York.

Gardy on Sano: "It’s sad. He wants to play baseball, and we were all looking forward to him having a good year. He needs to be healthy."

Joe Mauer is kind of cocky! I like it!
Joe Mauer on his first spring game at 1B: "Every time I go out to first base, I'm like, 'Hit it at me.'" #MNTwins
