Third baseman Miguel Sano was among four Minnesota Twins players to test positive for the coronavirus, the team announced Saturday. Catcher Willians Astudillo joined minor-leaguers Nick Gordon and Edwar Colina is also testing positive for COVID-19.
Per the Twins, Sano and Astudillo are both said to be asymptomatic and in quarantine in Minnesota. The 27-year-old Sano signed a three-year, $30 million contract extension with a fourth-year club option this past offseason.
Sano rebounded from the beginning last season on the injured list to set career-high totals in homers (34) and RBIs (79) in 105 games. He also had a .247 batting average. Astudillo, 28, batted .268 with four homers and 21 RBIs in 58 games last season with the Twins.
Gordon, a 24-year-old shortstop, batted .298 with four homers and 40 RBIs in 70 games in 2019 with Triple-A Rochester. Colina, a 23-year-old right-hander, posted an 8-2 record with a 2.96 ERA with three minor league teams last season.
