The Minnesota Twins are hoping for a "full second half post-All-Star" for center fielder Byron Buxton (hip).
Fantasy Impact
Buxton re-aggravted a hip injury on a slide into second base on Sunday, and was placed on the injured list on July 7, retroactive to July 6. It sounds like the club is hoping Buxton can return when the Twins visit the Cubs in their first post-All-Star Game contest on Friday, July 17.
The Twins placed Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list.
Fantasy Impact
Buxton had already missed a week with a hip issue. He'll be sidelined through the All-Star break.
Twins outfielder Byron Buxton departed Sunday's game against the Yankees after re-aggravating a hip injury.
Fantasy Impact
The hip issue sidelined Buxton for nearly a week, but he returned to go 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI, and a run scored on Saturday. He removed himself from the game on Sunday after re-injuring his hip when he was caught stealing second base in the first inning. At this point, an injured-list stint could be a real possibility.
Byron Buxton was lifted from Sunday's game against the Yankees in the second inning.
Fantasy Impact
The exact reason for his removal is currently unknown, but he has been dealing with a hip issue and seemed to get up awkwardly after being thrown out on a steal attempt in the first inning. Kyler Fedko has replaced Buxton in center field.
