3B	1	Miguel Sano 10-Day DL Twins manager Paul Molitor confirmed Tuesday that Miguel Sano (shin) is likely done for the remainder of the 2017 regular season. Sano has been sidelined since August 19 with a stress reaction in his left shin and he still isn't running at 100 percent here on September 19. "We’re down to a dozen games," Molitor said Tuesday. "My biggest concern now is even if he gets to the point where we get him on the field in any capacity, how much of a challenge is it going to be for him to have any type of timing at all? With some of the pitching we have to face, that’s going to be hard to give away at-bats just to hope he’s got it." If the Twins are able to sneak into the postseason, the conversation will obviously change. Sep 19

The writing had been on the wall, as Santiago struggled with his velocity and results on a rehab assignment and has just never gotten over his back and shoulder injuries. A free agent this winter, Santiago will finish with a 5.61 ERA over 131 2/3 innings in his year and a half with the Twins. Sep 8

	12	Trevor May 60-Day DL Trevor May (elbow) will throw from a distance of 60 feet on Monday. May began his throwing program earlier this month as he makes his way back from Tommy John surgery in March. If all goes well, the 27-year-old has a chance to be a major contributor for the Twins next season. It's unclear whether he'll be brought back as a starter or a reliever. Aug 14
	13	Phil Hughes 60-Day DL Phil Hughes (shoulder) underwent thoracic outlet revision surgery on Thursday. The operation was performed in Dallas by Dr. Gregory Pearl. The surgery will obviously end his season. This has been a recurring problem for Hughes, who has now undergone two procedures for thoracic outlet syndrome. The 31-year-old should be ready for spring training. Aug 10
