Buxton Out Again, Fantasy Impact | Minnesota Twins News

Byron Buxton’s hot streak just hit a wall—again. The Twins star is headed to the injured list with a lingering right hip strain that flared up during a July 5 game against the Yankees, sidelining him through the All-Star break. While not as severe as past injuries, this one’s persistent, and fantasy managers are scrambling. Buxton’s been crushing it this season: .275 batting average, 25 homers, 45 RBIs, 7 steals, 57 runs. His absence leaves a massive void, and rookie Kyler Fedko—currently batting .000—isn’t the answer. Fantasy owners should target waiver wire replacements now, but don’t panic or trade Buxton below his value—his return is still expected.
