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.
