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.
