Buxton Heads to Season-Ending Hip Surgery as Twins Eye 2027 Return

Buxton will have arthroscopic surgery on his right hip, ending his 2026 season with a potential return for 2027; he's on the 10-day IL (and could be moved to 60-day IL) as the Twins sit 4.5 games out of a playoff spot. In 93 games this year he posted 25 homers and a .254/.319/.511 line, while the club weighs offseason moves—including Trevor Larnach trade chatter and other outfield options—as it plans for a healthier Buxton in 2027.

Buxton sidelined by hip injury as Twins turn to Gray while Jenkins waits

The Twins placed Byron Buxton on the injured list again with a persistent right hip strain/impingement, receiving an injection with hopes of a short downtime as the club pursues bullpen help at the trade deadline. Rather than calling up top prospect Walker Jenkins for his MLB debut, Minnesota recalled infielder Tristan Gray to fill Buxton’s roster spot; Gray had hit .232/.271/.333 in 63 games at the majors. Jenkins, back from a shoulder injury, has posted strong minors numbers (.292/.364/.494 in 23 games) and is viewed as a solid defensive center fielder, but the Twins opted to give Gray the immediate roster move."

Twins' Pitching and Aggressive Play Lead to Victory over Guardians.

The Minnesota Twins defeated the Cleveland Guardians 1-0 in a game where runs were at a premium. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli made several aggressive pitching decisions, including pulling starting pitcher Bailey Ober after only 78 pitches with a shutout intact and requesting two key relievers make multi-inning appearances. The Twins needed every one of their four pitchers to be at top form in a contest where runs were at a premium. Byron Buxton will miss a few days with sore ribs instead of landing on the injured list.
