The Twins third baseman has a stress reaction in his left shin

Miguel Sano, playing heavier than his listed weight of 260 pounds, needs to show some dietary discipline.

The former Gophers QB had been delivering food around the Twin Cities, waiting for his chance.

Eddie Rosario's grand slam helped Bartolo Colon join an exclusive club of MLB pitchers. The nine-run first inning sent the Twins in a sweep of the Diamondbacks.

The Vikings are as close to full strength as they’ve been all summer. Cornerback Trae Waynes, left guard Alex Boone, strong safety Andrew Sendejo, left tackle Riley Reiff, receiver Laquon Treadwell, running back Latavius Murray and linebacker Kentrell Brothers all were back in pads and participated in all of practice after missing Friday night’s 20-13 preseason loss at Seattle.

SEATTLE — On Aug. 27, the Vikings offense is expected to be together for the first time in a game. That’s when the Vikings play the San Francisco 49ers during the preseason’s third exhibition. It’s also when head coach Mike Zimmer expects left tackle Riley Reiff and running back Latavius Murray to make their Vikings debuts after injuries have sidelined both all month. “I think we’ll get all our guys back next week,” Zimmer said after the Vikings’ 20-13 preseason loss to the Seahawks on Friday night.

RB Dalvin Cook: Cook broke arm tackles on his way to picking up 33 yards on three consecutive carries against the Seahawks, showing off his combination of power and elusiveness once he finds a seam. Cook’s production came behind a patchwork offensive line that expects to return two of its starters — Alex Boone and Riley Reiff — for the next preseason game on Aug. 27. 2. DE Ifeadi Odenigbo: The...
