Byron Buxton | Fantasy Outlook

Byron Buxton remains sidelined with hip strain through the mid-July break

Buxton is currently on the 10-day injured list with a right hip strain sustained on July 5, an injury that forced him to withdraw from his third All-Star Game appearance. He has not seen game action in nearly two weeks, and the third-place Twins, who currently hold a 48-49 record, have been forced to utilize depth options like Ryan Kreidler in center field. There is no firm timeline for his return to the active roster as the second half of the season begins.

Before the hip issue flared up, Buxton was putting together a monster campaign, already clobbering 25 home runs with a .271 batting average through 75 games. This production has significantly outpaced our original season projection of 17 homers, and his .905 OPS indicates that his power-hitting profile is reaching elite levels. The primary concern remains his durability, as this latest injury continues a career-long trend of frequent stays on the shelf.

The Twins resume play with a three-game series against the Cubs in Chicago, facing pitchers like Colin Rea and his 4.87 ERA. While the matchups are favorable for Minnesota hitters, Buxton is not expected to be available for this set while he continues his recovery. Fantasy managers should keep him stashed on the IL and wait for positive news regarding a rehab assignment before considering him for active lineups. Sit.
