Byron Buxton Placed on Injured List Again Due to Hip Injury

The Minnesota Twins have placed outfielder Byron Buxton back on the injured list due to a right hip impingement, a recurrence of an earlier injury this season.

This decision follows Buxton's aggravation of the injury during a game against the Athletics. In response, the Twins have recalled Gabriel Gonzalez from Triple-A St. Paul.

Buxton's injury history has led the team's general manager to suggest that he may need surgery in the offseason. Currently, the Twins are four games behind in the race for the final AL wild card spot. Buxton is eligible to return in seven days, but his readiness remains uncertain.
