Byron Buxton’s Hip Battle | Minnesota Twins News

Byron Buxton’s hip impingement is finally forcing the Minnesota Twins outfielder to face offseason surgery — a long-awaited step after multiple IL stints this year. Despite being sidelined for nine days and battling injuries since 2021, the three-time All-Star remains determined to push through until it’s physically impossible. With the Twins just 3.5 games out of a wild card spot in the AL Central, there’s still hope he can return for a playoff push. In 93 games this season, he’s slashed .254/.338/.476 with 25 homers and 46 RBIs, while also showing smarter base-running decisions. Now, the focus shifts to getting him back on the field — if possible — before tackling his long-term health. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
