Byron Buxton | Fantasy Outlook

Byron Buxton returns to the injured list with recurring hip trouble

Buxton landed back on the 10-day injured list due to a persistent right hip impingement, with team management acknowledging that offseason surgery is on the table. He had labored through his physical limitations recently, hitting just .222 over his last 14 days for a third-place Twins club that sits at 65-72.

The recent slide, including a .179 batting average over his last 30 days, is a stark contrast to an otherwise excellent 2026 campaign where he launched 25 home runs with an .831 OPS across 93 games. While his elite power is undeniable when healthy, this lingering injury makes his rest-of-season output highly uncertain.

Minnesota has a six-game slate lined up against Detroit and the White Sox, featuring difficult arms like Troy Melton and his 1.95 ERA. Because Buxton is officially sidelined and our projections expect zero active appearances this week, he should be moved to an IL spot immediately. Sit.
