Byron Buxton Could Return Thursday | Minnesota Twins News

Byron Buxton could be back on the field as soon as Thursday, after a promising workout Monday that showed him running and hitting with no pain. The Twins’ manager says he’s a real possibility to return, despite missing the All-Star Game earlier this year due to the same hip issue. If healthy, Buxton is expected to play center field — not DH — bringing his power (25 HRs) and speed (7 steals) back to the lineup. The team is being cautious, monitoring his progress today to avoid re-injury, but fans are already buzzing for his return.
