CHICAGO -- The Twins officially placed third baseman Miguel Sano on the 10-day disabled list Monday with a stress reaction to his left shin. In a corresponding move, first baseman/designated hitter Kennys Vargas was recalled from Triple-A Rochester.
Additionally, the Twins optioned lefty Nik Turley to Triple-A Rochester and selected the contract of right-hander Tim Melville to start Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the White Sox.
Sano, who is hitting .267/.356/.514 with a team-leading 28 homers and 77 RBIs in 111 games, said he first felt the pain in his shin on Friday, when he hit two homers.
