Twins' Buxton Leaves Game After Getting Hit on Hand

Byron Buxton, the Minnesota Twins All-Star center fielder, left the game on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, after being hit by a pitch at Target Field in Minneapolis.
Byron Buxton exited the game with an injury to his left hand after being hit by a pitch from Cubs starter Cade Horton in the first inning; the call was originally ruled a foul ball but was reversed following a video review.
Buxton stayed in the game briefly, scored on a Ryan Jeffers hit, and was later pinch hit for in the second inning before being removed and missing Thursday’s start.
Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said it's not a sign anything negative occurred, adding, "the update is he's doing fine" and that Buxton is sore but expected to recover.
The injury’s extent remains unclear and could affect Buxton’s participation in next week’s All-Star Game and Home Run Derby in his home state of Georgia.
