Byron Buxton Back and Ready | MLB News

Byron Buxton’s back — activated just in time for the magical Field of Dreams game, after a 14-game absence due to a recurring hip issue. This marks his second IL stint this season, costing him an All-Star spot and forcing a late return. Despite that, he’s been a force when healthy: .263 BA, 25 homers, 45 RBIs, and an elite .864 OPS. With MLB allowing an extra roster spot for the special game, the Twins didn’t have to make tough cuts — and fans are hoping this is the end of the hip troubles as Buxton aims to finish strong.
