Los Angeles Angels third baseman Miguel Sanó hasn't played since April 26 because of left knee inflammation, and he suffered a minor setback as he works his way back to the major league level.
Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com noted Sunday that Angels manager Ron Washington said Sanó burned his knee by accidentally leaving a heating pad on too long. While it is not a serious setback, it will keep Sanó sidelined for a bit longer.
Sanó had made two rehab appearances with the Arizona Complex League Angels.
Los Angeles placed Sanó on the injured list when he suffered the setback, although he was a regular in the team's lineup prior to the injury even though he didn't play during the 2023 campaign.
