The Minnesota Twins activate outfielder Byron Buxton from the injured list ahead of MLB’s “Field of Dreams” game. The Athletic reports Buxton, 32, has been sidelined since July 28 with a right hip injury, and he is now on the active roster for the event in Iowa.
Multiple outlets describe the move as a return from the IL for Thursday’s game. Newsweek similarly states the Twins reinstate the three-time All-Star before the matchup, while Winnipeg Free Press frames the decision as bringing back their All-Star center fielder for the Field of Dreams setting. While the coverage focuses on Buxton’s availability, the details largely converge on his injury timeline and that he will be eligible to play in Iowa.
