Twins star OF Buxton done for season, set for knee surgery
Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is out for the season and is set to have surgery on his troublesome right kneeSEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Byron Buxton - Requires season-ending surgery Buxton (hip) will undergo season-ending arthroscopic knee surgery Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Impact Buxton has been on the injured list with a low-grade right hip strain for a month and was initially expected to return prior to the end of the season. The 28-year-old likely would have returned if the Twins were in the playoff picture, but he'll instead undergo a season-ending knee procedure now that the team has been eliminated. Buxton's surgery has been described as insignificant by the Twins, and he should be ready to return in time for spring training in 2023.

Jake Cave - Resting against lefty Cave is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.
Impact With a southpaw (Daniel Lynch) on the hill for Kansas City, the lefty-hitting Cave will retreat to the bench following three consecutive starts. Cave's absence from the lineup paves the way for Jermaine Palacios to pick up a start in the middle infield while Nick Gordon mans left field.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Arraez - Not in Wednesday's lineup Arraez isn't starting Wednesday against the Royals.
Impact Arraez is getting a breather after he went 3-for-13 with two RBI, a run and a strikeout over the last three games. Gary Sanchez will rest his legs as the designated hitter and bat cleanup.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sandy León - Back in action Thursday Leon (knee) will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Royals.
Impact Leon was lifted early Monday in the Twins' series finale with the Guardians due to knee inflammation, but a day out of the lineup was apparently all he needed for the issue to resolve itself. The defensive-minded backstop owns a .170 batting average since the beginning of August and won't warrant much attention from a fantasy standpoint.
