No decision on surgery yet Manager Rocco Baldelli said that the Twins have yet to determine whether Buxton will need surgery to address the fractured left hand he sustained in Monday's win over the Reds, Bet...
Impact The Twins are expected to gain more clarity on the extent of Buxton's injury once he undergoes further testing in the coming days. If surgery is ultimately deemed necessary, Buxton would be in store for a longer absence, though he'll still likely miss multiple weeks even if he's able to treat the injury through rest and rehab. Minnesota recalled Gilberto Celestino from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move, and he should get the chance to pick up starts in center field while Buxton is on the shelf. Nick Gordon and Max Kepler are other options at the position, and Rob Refsnyder (hamstring) should also factor into the mix in center if he's able to make a speedy return from the IL.

Back on IL The Twins placed Buxton (hand) on the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Reds, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Minnesota called up Gilberto Celestino from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move; he and Nick Gordon will likely be called upon to serve as the Twins' primary options in center field while Buxton heads to the IL for the second time this season. After missing approximately six weeks with a hip strain, Buxton returned from the IL over the weekend and started three games for the Twins before exiting Monday's win with a fractured left hand. The club has yet to provide an estimated recovery timeline for Buxton, but he'll most likely need multiple weeks, if not months, for the hand to fully heal.

Facing long-term absence Manager Rocco Baldelli said after Monday's 7-5 win over the Reds in 12 innings that while the Twins don't yet have a concrete timeline for Buxton's (hand) return, the skipper noted...
Impact After he was struck by a pitch in the fourth inning, Buxton was initially diagnosed with a left hand contusion and was able to stay in the game. However, he ultimately exited in the sixth and later underwent imaging, which revealed a "boxer's fracture" -- an injury to the base of the pinkie finger -- on his left hand. The setback is a devastating one for Buxton, who was playing in only his third game Monday since returning from a six-week absence due to a hip strain. A clearer timeline for Buxton should emerge in the coming days, but the comments from his skipper point to the 27-year-old potentially being sidelined until August, if not longer.

Impact Buxton initially appeared to be fine as he waived off trainers following the HBP, but he ultimately exited two innings later. The outfielder returned from a hip injury Saturday, but it seems more likely that his Monday departure is due to being hit on the hand. If it is indeed the hand that caused his exit, he'll likely undergo X-rays, after which the Twins should have a better idea of the severity of the injury.
