Minnesota Twins Activate Miguel Sano

The Twins announced the move before starting a two-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday.

In other moves, the Twins optioned outfielder Gilberto Celestino to Triple-A St. Paul and transferred left-handed pitcher Danny Coulombe to the 60-day injured list.

Coulombe originally went on the injured list on May 28 with a left hip impingement.
