Twins pull Buxton with right hip discomfort, after strikeout in 5th inning vs. Royals
Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton was removed from the game against Kansas City because of discomfort in his right hipAUGUST 13 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Exits with hip issue Buxton was removed from Monday's game against the Royals due to right hip discomfort, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Impact This appears to be a minor injury for Buxton, who is being considered day-to-day by the team. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Minnesota hold Buxton out for a day or two given his injury history, but he'll likely be re-evaluated Tuesday morning before a decision is made on his availability going forward.

Goes yard twice in loss Buxton went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Guardians.
Impact Buxton opened the scoring with a solo shot in the second inning and added a two-run homer in the eighth, but the Twins weren't able to generate any other runs. The outfielder has four homers over his last eight games, going 7-for-24 (.292) in that span. For the year, he's up to .278/.337/.533 slash line with 16 homers, 49 RBI, 54 runs scored and six stolen bases across 89 contests. He's four games shy of earning his highest number of games played in seven years.

On bench for Game 2 Buxton is out of the lineup for the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Guardians.
Impact After missing three games due to back stiffness, Buxton returned for Friday's matinee, going 1-for-3 with a double and a walk during the Twins' 4-2 victory. Minnesota won't push it with the 30-year-old, instead starting Manuel Margot in center field for the nightcap.

Returns to lineup Buxton (back) will start in center field and bat second in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Guardians.
Impact Buxton sat out three contests with lower-back stiffness but is feeling well enough to give it a go in the first game of a twin bill. The 30-year-old has clubbed five home runs in 13 contests since the All-Star break.

Sitting again Wednesday Buxton (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
Impact He'll stick on the bench for the third game in a row while he contends with lower-back stiffness, which stems from a collision with the outfield wall in Sunday's win over the White Sox. The Twins are off Thursday, so the team is seemingly hopeful that a full four days of rest will be enough for Buxton to move past the back issue before it opens a four-game series with the Guardians with a doubleheader Friday.

Battling back stiffness Manager Rocco Baldelli said Buxton, who is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, is dealing with lower-back stiffness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Twins announced that Buxton was medically cleared after being removed from Sunday's game following a collision with the outfield wall, but the back stiffness is keeping him out of the lineup Tuesday for the second straight day. It remains to be seen if the 30-year-old is ready to go for Wednesday's series finale in Chicago, though Baldelli expressed confidence Buxton will be available for Friday's doubleheader versus Cleveland.

Still out of lineup Tuesday Buxton (undisclosed) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.
Impact The 30-year-old departed Sunday's contest after colling with the center-field wall and will sit Tuesday for the second straight game. The Twins said after Sunday's game that Buxton's removal was precautionary and that he had been medically cleared, but two straight absences seem to indicate otherwise. Austin Martin will receive a start in center field Tuesday for Minnesota.

On bench Monday Buxton (undisclosed) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.
Impact Buxton was precautionarily removed from Sunday's game after colliding with the wall while making a leaping catch. Although he was medically cleared shortly after, Buxton will get Monday off to rest and recover. Manuel Margot will play center field and bat eighth in his place.

Impact The 30-year-old was slow to get up after he made a leaping catch into the wall to end the sixth inning, but he may have been pulled from the contest regardless since Minnesota was holding a five-run lead. Still, it's worth keeping an eye on Buxton's status heading into Monday's series opener versus the Cubs given his injury history.

Impact Buxton was slow to get up after making the catch but was able to leave the field under his own power. The 30-year-old went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk and two runs before departing the contest. The Twins should provide an update in the near future, but for now Buxton should be considered day-to-day.
