Buxton’s Hip Trouble Threatens Twins’ Push | Minnesota Twins News

Byron Buxton’s season hit a snag again as he exited Tuesday’s game due to soreness in his troublesome right hip — the same injury that sidelined him for the All-Star Game and a two-week stint. Despite being the Twins’ MVP this year with 25 homers and 7 steals, his recent performance has dipped, going just 4-for-25 in his last seven games. With the team on a hot streak after a post-break slump, his absence is a blow — and Luke Keaschall is now stepping into center field. The Twins’ playoff push just got a lot more uncertain with Buxton’s hip acting up again. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
