Buxton’s Hip Injury Sets Back Twins Star | MLB News

Byron Buxton’s All-Star season hit a snag as he exited Sunday’s game against the Yankees after reaggravating a hip injury while attempting to steal second — a move that ended his day and sidelined him just as he was named an All-Star starter. This isn’t his first rodeo with the injury, which has already sidelined him before and cost him games this season. Despite a solid .270 batting average and 25 homers, Buxton’s return to form has been hampered by nagging hip issues, especially after a strong comeback last year. With Kyler Fedko stepping in, fans and the Twins are watching closely to see if this setback becomes a season-defining hurdle or a temporary bump in the road.
