Twins Place Buxton on 10-Day Injured List
Buxton’s return from a prior IL stint lasted nine days, and the Twins recalled Tristan Gray in a corresponding move.
- On Wednesday, the Minnesota Twins placed outfielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list with a right hip impingement after he left Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals.
- Buxton re-aggravated the injury during Tuesday's contest, just nine days after returning from a previous 15-day IL stint for the same hip issue. He had struggled at the plate since his return, batting.160 in seven games.
- In a corresponding move, the Twins recalled infielder Tristan Gray from Triple-A to fill the roster spot. Buxton remains a core offensive contributor, batting.263 with 25 home runs and 45 RBIs over 82 games this season.
- With the trade deadline approaching on August 3, the injury significantly lowers the likelihood of a deal. Buxton holds a full no-trade clause and has repeatedly expressed his desire to remain in Minnesota.
- Minnesota currently sits two games behind the Chicago White Sox in the American League Central and 0.5 games out of the wild-card race. The team aims to maintain playoff position while Buxton recovers from the recurring hip problem.
