Beginning rehab assignment Buxton (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.

Impact Buxton will play center field for the Saints on Monday in what will be his first game action since he went down in mid-August with right hip inflammation. It's not clear how many rehab games the Twins will ask Buxton to play, but a return before the end of the week seems doable.

Could begin rehab assignment soon Buxton (hip) worked out without issues Wednesday and a decision whether to send him on a rehab assignment will be made within the next two days, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Impact Buxton's timetable isn't clear but it sounds like he could begin a rehab assignment this weekend. The Twins have said he may only need to play a rehab game or two. Buxton left a game Aug. 12 due to right hip inflammation and subsequently received a cortisone shot. He's been increasing his activity the past week. Given Buxton's track record of slow recoveries from injuries, however, don't be surprised if his timetable gets pushed back again.

Will require rehab assignment Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Monday that Buxton (hip) is "getting closer" to a rehab assignment but is "not there yet," Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Baldelli added that while Buxton's rehab assignment is expected to be brief, he will require one before being activated from the 10-day injured list. The outfielder hasn't played since Aug. 12 because of right hip inflammation and would seem to be at least a week or so away from rejoining the Twins' lineup.

Gets cortisone shot Buxton recently received a cortisone shot in his injured hip, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Buxton's right hip inflammation appears to be caused by scar tissue from a similar injury he suffered in 2022, said Twins head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta. He should be able to increase his activity in the next few days. The Twins sound optimistic that he'll be able to return from the IL when first eligible, but Buxton has been slow to return from similar injuries in the past.

Hip issue forces IL stint The Twins placed Buxton on the 10-day injured list Thursday with right hip soreness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Buxton does not have any structural damage as a result of a hip injury he suffered Monday versus the Royals. However, he's had lingering soreness and the Twins have opted to give him some extra rest. He will be eligible to return on Aug. 23 and should have a shot to be back on that date, although more will be known about his status in the coming days. Austin Martin and Manuel Margot will pick up extra playing time while Buxton is sidelined, and the Twins could also use Willi Castro more in center field.

Out again Thursday Buxton (hip) isn't in the Twins' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rangers.

Impact Buxton will miss his third consecutive start since leaving Monday's game early with a right hip injury. The Twins still haven't decided whether he'll need to spend time on the injured list, though the 30-year-old may be headed for an IL stint if he's unable to play Friday. In the meantime, Austin Martin will get the starting nod in center field and bat ninth in Thursday's series opener.

IL stint not ruled out Twins manager Rocco Baldelli wouldn't rule out a trip to the injured list for Buxton (hip) when asked about the possibility Wednesday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tri...

Impact While Baldelli noted that an MRI on Buxton's hip came back negative, he said the outfielder is still feeling quite sore. Buxton injured the hip during Monday's game versus the Royals and will miss a second straight start Wednesday. An IL stint can be backdated three days, so the Twins might wait until Friday to make a roster decision on Buxton, assuming he hasn't return to action by then.

AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE

Out Wednesday with right hip injury Buxton (hip) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Impact Buxton exited the series opener Monday with right hip discomfort and will remain on the bench for the second day in a row as the Twins and Royals wrap up their three-game set. On a positive note, imaging on Buxton's hip returned negative, so the Twins are seemingly viewing him as day-to-day and are hopeful that he'll avoid a stint on the injured list. Austin Martin will cover center field Wednesday in Buxton's stead.
