Drives in two in return to lineup
Buxton went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and two RBI in Saturday's 11-4 rout of the Yankees.
Análisis
Returning to the lineup in center field after missing the prior four games due to a hip issue, Buxton immediately cleared up concerns about his health by ripping an RBI double off the wall in left field in his first plate appearance. The 32-year-old has suited up for 74 of the Twins' 90 contests so far this season, putting him on pace to top 130 games played for the first time since 2017, and he's compiled a .269/.326/.574 slash line with 25 homers, seven steals, 45 RBI and 57 runs.

Back in action Saturday
Buxton (hip) will start in center field and bat second against the Yankees on Saturday.
Análisis
Buxton missed each of the Twins' last four games due to a right hip impingement, but the veteran outfielder has been given the green light to return to action Saturday. He finished the month of June with a .287/.330/.596 slash line with three steals, eight home runs and 16 RBI across 100 plate appearances.

Remains sidelined Friday
Buxton (hip) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.
Análisis
Even after an off day Thursday, Buxton isn't ready to return to the starting lineup and will miss his fourth straight contest. Ryan Kreidler is manning center field again in his place and batting seventh against right-hander Gerrit Cole.

Out for third straight game
Buxton (hip) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.
Análisis
The Twins are viewing Buxton day-to-day while he recovers from a right hip impingement, which will keep him on the bench for a third consecutive game. Minnesota is off Thursday, so Buxton's condition will presumably be reassessed Friday, when the team opens a three-game series versus the Yankees. Ryan Kreidler will pick up another start in center field Wednesday in place of Buxton.

Sitting again Tuesday
Buxton (hip) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Análisis
It's the second straight absence from the lineup for Buxton, who is considered day-to-day after an MRI revealed a right hip impingement. The center fielder appears to have avoided a serious injury, though it wouldn't be surprising if the Twins also hold him out for Wednesday's series finale in Houston since the club has a team day off Thursday.

Day-to-day with hip issue
Buxton is being considered day-to-day due to a right hip impingement, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Análisis
It initially look as though Buxton was set to receive a scheduled night off Monday, but skipper Derek Shelton stated after the game that the star center fielder was sent for an MRI, which showed a right hip issue. This appears to be a minor injury for Buxton, who will likely be re-evaluated Tuesday to determine his status for the second game of the series.

Receiving night off
Buxton is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.
Análisis
Buxton had started every game dating back to June 9, so the Twins may have decided that he was due for a night off. Ryan Kreidler will receive the start in center field in place of Buxton, who could probably benefit from a break after going hitless in three of his last four games.
