Byron Buxton Lands on Injured List, Will Miss All-Star Game
The Twins said Buxton will miss next week’s All-Star Game after he reaggravated a right hip impingement.
- On Tuesday, the Minnesota Twins placed center fielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list after he aggravated a hip injury that will sideline him through the All-Star break.
- Buxton left Sunday's game against the Yankees in New York after an awkward slide while attempting to steal second, having previously sat out four games last week after tweaking the same hip spot.
- Before the injury, Buxton was hitting.271 with a team-leading.904 OPS in 75 games, while his 25 home runs are tied for third-most in the American League.
- Twins manager Derek Shelton said, "It was probably the best-case scenario for everybody," as the organization recalled outfielder Alan Roden from Triple-A St. Paul to fill the roster spot.
- The American League voted Buxton as a starter for next week's All-Star Game, recognizing his production; he previously homered in the 2022 contest, which the American League won 3-2.
