Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton leaves Sunday’s game against the New York Yankees after suffering a hip injury. Multiple reports say Buxton exits following the first inning after reaggravating the hip problem. During the opening plate appearance, Buxton reaches base on an infield single and is later involved in a baserunning attempt. He is thrown out trying to steal second base on a headfirst slide during a full-count pitch. In the same sequence, Buxton has an earlier steal attempt that is interrupted when New York pitcher Kody Clemens fouls off a pitch. Buxton’s departure is tied to the hip injury that he already had, according to the reports. The decision to remove him occurs early in the game, and the specifics of any further diagnosis or timeline are not included in the available summaries.
