Buxton’s Hip Struggle and Future with Twins | Minnesota Twins News

Byron Buxton’s hip woes keep mounting, forcing him back on the injured list for the third time this season — but his elite production when healthy (25 HR, 46 RBI, stellar defense) makes every setback feel like a gut punch. With surgery now on the table as a potential offseason fix, he could be ready for spring training in 2027 — though nothing’s guaranteed. Still, don’t expect him to leave Minnesota: at 31 and entering his 13th season, Buxton’s commitment to the Twins is ironclad, and trade rumors have faded. As the team pushes for a wild card spot, they’re counting on Buxton — even if he’s sidelined for now. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
