Miguel Sanó Fantasy

Minnesota Twins first baseman Miguel Sano went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in 6-5 loss to the Pirates. Sano absolutely tagged his home run, depositing it 365 feet into the seats at an exit velocity of 114 MPH. It's the third-hardest hit homer of his career, which is saying something because he can really crush the baseball. He may only have five hits compared to 17 strikeouts, but all five of his hits have been for extra bases. It's possible that he is a little behind the Twins' other hitters, after missing time from COVID-19 and an incident back in the Dominican Republic. Fantasy owners shouldn't worry though, because he's showing flashes of brilliance. He just needs to put it all together.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton and first baseman Miguel Sano are both out of Wednesday's lineup against the Pirates. Buxton ended a four-game hitless streak on Tuesday with an RBI single but still seems to be feeling the effects of his foot injury at the plate. Sano tagged an RBI double on Tuesday, though he's also off to a slower start than his fantasy owners would like. Jake Cave will start in place of Buxton and Marwin Gonzalez will man first base for the Twins. Catcher Mitch Garver is back in the lineup while Josh Donaldson (calf) still remains out. It's a plus matchup for the Twins' lineup against right-hander Trevor Williams.

Minnesota Twins first baseman Miguel Sano broke out of his slump in a big way during Saturday's 3-0 win over the Cleveland Indians. After mustering just one hit in his previous 17 at-bats, Sano went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs. Someone should check Target Field for damages because his homers were absolute laser beams, traveling at exit velocities of 110.5 and 110.6 MPH. This game was just what the doctor ordered for Sano's fantasy owners and it could be a springboard for his next few games. He'll face right-hander Aaron Civale on Sunday and then will get three favorable matchups against the Pirates.
