Byron Buxton (hip) exits after aggravating injury

Byron Buxton

MIN Center Fielder #25

Player Stats

Byron Buxton was removed from Sunday’s game against the Yankees after aggravating his prior hip injury.

Buxton singled in the first inning and was caught trying to steal second base, which appears to have been where he sustained the injury. Hopefully it’s just a minor issue and the Twins are being cautious here, but with Buxton’s extensive injury history you just can’t rule out the chances of him heading to the injured list. Fantasy managers should have an alternative option in place for next week in the event that the dynamic 32-year-old outfielder is forced to miss some time.

Byron Buxton (hip) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Yankees.

Buxton returns to Minnesota’s lineup in center field and hitting second following an extended four-game absence due to a right hip impingement. It’s his first game action since June 28. The 32-year-old has been one of the most impactful all-around fantasy contributors this season, delivering a stellar .268/.323/.573 slash line with 56 runs scored, 25 homers, 43 RBI and seven steals across 329 plate appearances over 73 games. It’s an extremely encouraging development for fantasy managers that he’s managed to avoid a trip to the injured list.

Byron Buxton (hip) is not in Friday’s lineup for the Twins against the Yankees.

It’s his fourth missed game in a row. The holding pattern remains. We’re waiting for real news on the situation. It sounded like Buxton was close to returning after an MRI revealed a hip impingement on Tuesday, but there’s been no real movement. Consider Buxton questionable for the other games against the Yankees this weekend.

Byron Buxton (hip) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Astros.

Buxton winds up sitting out the entire three-game series in Houston due to a right hip impingement. The 32-year-old fantasy star should benefit from Thursday’s off day and figures to be ready for Friday’s series opener against the Yankees. It’ll be Ryan Kreidler handling center field with Josh Bell at DH for the third consecutive game on Wednesday night.

Byron Buxton (hip) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Astros.

Buxton will miss his second straight game and remains day-to-day after an MRI revealed a right hip impingement. It doesn’t appear to be a serious concern, but fantasy managers should be prepared for another absence during Wednesday’s series finale with an off day looming on Thursday. It’ll be Ryan Kreidler patrolling center field with Josh Bell at DH in his absence.

Byron Buxton is day-to-day with a right hip impingement.

Twins manager Derek Shelton told reporters that Buxton underwent an MRI after sitting out Monday’s series opener against the Astros, which revealed the issue. The 32-year-old fantasy stalwart could still wind up on the injured list, but it sounds like he’ll attempt to play through it for now. There should be additional clarity on his status in the coming days.

Byron Buxton is out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Astros.

There’s been zero indication that Buxton is dealing with any sort of physical ailment, but fantasy managers should continue to closely monitor his status, especially since he was at DH on Sunday against the Rockies. It’ll be Ryan Kreidler patrolling center field with Josh Bell at DH in his absence. There’s no reason for panic at this juncture.
Josh Bell

MIN Designated Hitter #56

Josh Bell is not in the Twins’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Rockies.

It’s a well-deserved day of rest for the 33-year-old slugger who has been a staple in the middle of the Twins’ lineup this season. Bell is having a decent year overall, slashing .244/.301/.397 with nine homers and 51 RBI in 322 plate appearances for the Twins. Byron Buxton will get a chance to get off of his feet and serve as the designated hitter on Sunday while Austin Martin draws a start in center field and bats eighth against Ryan Feltner and the Rockies.

Byron Buxton went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored as the Twins triumphed over the Rockies in 10 innings on Friday night.

Buxton smacked a one-out single in the first inning and rode home on a two-run blast by Kody Clemens. He then delivered an RBI double in the fifth that extended the Twins’ lead to 5-0 and scored on Josh Bell’s two-run double. He then came through with an RBI single in the ninth that tied it at 8-8 after the Rockies’ dramatic comeback in the top half of the frame. With his three-hit night, the 32-year-old outfielder is slashing .276/.331/.588 with 25 homers, 42 RBI and seven stolen bases on the season.

Twins general manager Jeremy Zoll said there are no plans to trade Byron Buxton.

Buxton has a full no-trade clause and would need to approve any potential deal, which is something he’s previously stated he has zero interest in doing. The 32-year-old franchise icon launched his American League-leading 25th round-tripper of the season during Monday’s contest against the Dodgers. His name will continue to surface in trade rumors, but it seems like the chances of Buxton actually being moved at the deadline are nonexistent.

Byron Buxton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Dodgers on Monday.

Buxton’s home run was his 25th. He hit a solo shot off Will Klein in the first inning, but it was the Twins’ only run in the 2-1 loss to the Dodgers. Buxton continues to enjoy an excellent season as he’s on pace to blow past his career-high of 35 home runs. He’s hitting .275 with a .929 OPS and 41 RBI.

Josh Jung was scratched from the Rangers’ starting lineup on Sunday due to right knee soreness.

Jung was going to try to give it a go but tested his knee out on the field before the game and ultimately the decision was made to give him the afternoon off. It’s possible that he could be available in a pinch-hit situation. Ezequiel Duran will cover third base in his absence and bat cleanup against Tigers’ right-hander Casey Mize.

Dominic Canzone is not in the Mariners’ starting lineup for Sunday’s matinee against the Blue Jays.

Canzone homered and drove in three runs on Saturday night, so the timing off the off day is a bit curious, though the Mariners are likely just trying to keep him fresh. Cal Raleigh will function as the team’s designated hitter in his place while Mitch Garver draws his first start of the week behind the dish and will bat seventh for the M’s against Trey Yesavage and the Blue Jays.

William Contreras is absent from the Brewers’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s ballgame against the Rockies at Coors Field.

Since he shoulders a very heavy workload for a catcher, the Brewers are careful to mix in off days for Contreras to get him off of his feet once in a while, with Sunday afternoon games being the most common. Gary Sanchez will start in his place behind the dish and bat seventh against Diamondbacks’ southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez.
