Remains idle Friday
Buxton (hip) is out of the lineup for Minnesota's matchup with the White Sox on Friday.
Analisi
As Buxton continues to manage discomfort in his right hip, he will sit out the series opener against the White Sox. Top prospect Walker Jenkins will make his major-league debut in center field and bat ninth in place of Buxton for Minnesota on Friday.

Sitting due to hip discomfort
Buxton (hip) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Analisi
Luke Keaschall will receive the start in center field while Buxton gets some time to tend to renewed discomfort in his right hip, which cropped up during Tuesday's 4-2 loss while he was in pursuit of a flyball, per MLB.com. Due to issues related to his right hip, Buxton has landed on the injured list on two occasions within the last two months, so the Twins will likely tread carefully with him. With a team off day coming Thursday, Buxton will effectively get two days of rest, but he's far from a lock to return to the lineup for Friday's series opener versus the White Sox.

Exits early Tuesday
Buxton was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics with an apparent injury, Audra Martin of Twins.tv reports.
Analisi
Buxton wasn't able to reach down to get his glove on a ball hit into right-center field in the seventh inning, and he looked to be grabbing at his right hip after the play -- the same hip that caused him to miss multiple weeks earlier this month. The Twins will take a closer look at him to determine the severity of his latest injury, and an update on his status may be available after the game.

Productive in Monday's win
Buxton went 3-for-5 with a double, four runs scored and a walk in Monday's 9-6 win over the Athletics.
Analisi
Buxton was active offensively, matching a season high with four runs while picking up three hits for the first time since June 26. In 10 games since returning from the injured list due to a right hip impingement, the center fielder has gone 7-for-36 (.194) with no homers, one RBI and eight runs. Overall, Buxton is slashing .256/.321/.515 with 25 homers, 46 RBI, 65 runs and seven stolen bases in 92 contests.
