AL Central Notes: Sano, Abreu, Duffy, Phillips

By Steve Adams | September 4, 2018 at 9:16pm CDT

Twins slugger Miguel Sano had to be carted off the field Tuesday after suffering an apparent left leg injury upon sliding into second base (video link via MLB.com). That’s the same leg that caused Sano to miss the final few weeks of the 2017 season — an injury that ultimately led to surgery to insert a titanium rod into his shin. Initial x-rays on the injury were negative, according to the team, and Sano has been diagnosed with a bruised lower leg, although there figure to be further evaluations and updates after the game. Whether lingering effect from that offseason procedure have impacted Sano isn’t clear, but the 2018 campaign has been a nightmare for the former top prospect. A year after hitting .264/.352/.507 with 28 homers in 483 plate appearances, Sano has struggled to a dismal .202/.285/.405 slash with a 37.6 percent strikeout rate.

More news out of the AL Central…

  • White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu told reporters today that the surgery he underwent two weeks ago was to repair a testicular torsion, as Daryl Van-Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times writes. The issue “blindsided” Abreu and prompted emergency surgery, but the 31-year-old Abreu thankfully revealed that he is in good health and possibly even nearing a return to the playing field. Abreu expressed optimism about being able to play in a game this weekend, though Van Schouwen notes that both manager Rick Renteria and GM Rick Hahn offered a more cautious timetable and said Abreu could miss another week or so. For now, Abreu is doing light cardio exercises as he works his way back.
  • The Royals announced tonight that left-hander Danny Duffy exited tonight’s start with a shoulder impingement and shoulder tightness. Further details haven’t yet been made available, but Duffy already missed 10 days last month due to an impingement in his left shoulder, making continued symptoms all the more troubling. The 28-year-old lefty lasted just two-thirds of an inning and saw was charged with three runs, causing his ERA to balloon to 4.88 on the year. Center fielder Brett Phillips, meanwhile, was announced as day-to-day with a shoulder contusion after crashing into the outfield wall at top speed.

    Jose Abreu had a strangled testicle.
    I’m not sure how this happened, and I don’t really want to try it

      Hopefully his testicle was able to be saved. All of the players that had one removed (i.e. Kruk, Lowell, and some catcher whose name I forget) were never the same afterward.

        I feel like Yadier Molina probably lost at least one earlier this year and he has played well

          I played in a band called Testicular Torsion back in 2004. We were a reggae tribute to Barry Manilow.

        Lowell had his removed from testicular cancer pretty much before his major league career even began (99). He had a pretty nice career for himself considering he only had the one nut.

    Abreu’s testicles must have twisted pretty badly if they “blindsided” him.

    Not to be to specific as I clearly am not a dr, but I think this happened to me once when a partner kept spinning them unbeknown to me.Not saying this is what happened or what the diagnosis is. But I feel his pain it’s not comfortable. Be alert fellas! Learn from my mistake!

    Speedy recovery to Sanó.

    (Also, to Swampsavage, Joefish, Suit, or any of the others who used to post regularly on MLB.com/Twins’ forums, if you guys have set up a new place to “tailgate,” please let me know where. Thanks.)
