Buxton Out for Season, Surgery Ahead | Minnesota Twins News

Twins star Byron Buxton’s 2026 season is officially over after being shut down for arthroscopic hip surgery — a move made to ensure he’s fully healthy for 2027. The 33-year-old, who battled hip issues for months and missed significant time, still managed to make his third All-Star team and hit 25 homers before his slump post-All-Star break. With the Twins out of playoff contention, the decision was clear: prioritize long-term health. Buxton, set to remain with the Twins through 2028, hopes this surgery restores his elite form and keeps him on the field consistently.
