Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hip impingement, the team announces. Multiple reports say Buxton has dealt with right hip soreness for much of the season. He leaves Tuesday’s 3–2 win over the Kansas City Royals in the fifth inning, with the issue worsening or preventing him from continuing. Buxton was previously on the injured list earlier this month for a similar problem and spent 15 days there before returning. The current move is made shortly ahead of the MLB trade deadline, with the timing drawing attention from reports that reference potential trade discussions. The Twins have not indicated a longer-term timetable in the provided accounts beyond the designation of the 10-day IL stint. Buxton’s status affects Minnesota’s outfield depth while he recovers from the hip impingement.
