Buxton’s Hip Crisis Threatens Twins’ Playoff Push | MLB News
Description
Byron Buxton’s MVP-caliber season is on the brink after a recurring hip injury forces him toward offseason surgery—his sixth IL stint this year and third since July. Despite pain, he vows to play as long as the Twins remain playoff contenders, three games out. His hip woes, dating back to 2021, have plagued his durability, limiting him to just three 100-game seasons and never a full 140. While his offense dipped post-July, his defense and value remain vital. The Twins are leaning on rookie Walker Jenkins in center field, while Buxton, locked into a $100M extension with a no-trade clause, hopes to return stronger next year.
