Getting breather Wednesday

Analisi
Buxton started the last two days upon his return from the injured list, but he will get a break Wednesday. Luke Keaschall will patrol center field and bat eighth for the Twins.

Logs two singles in return
Buxton went 2-for-3 in Monday's 13-4 loss to the Guardians.
Analisi
Buxton was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game after recovering from a right hip injury, and he got to work immediately by getting on base in each of his first two plate appearances. The veteran center fielder is looking to build off a strong first half of the season, when he posted a .903 OPS with seven steals, 25 home runs and 45 RBI across 335 plate appearances.

Reinstated from injured list
The Twins activated Buxton (hip) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Analisi
Buxton had been shelved for nearly two weeks after aggravating a right hip injury, but he's ready to go for the start of the Twins' four-game series in Cleveland that begins Monday. He skipped a rehab assignment, as the Twins were satisfied with the work Buxton put in in recent days between his hitting and defensive drills. Tristan Gray was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Could return against Cleveland
Buxton (hip) is on track to return from the 10-day injured list during the Twins' series versus the Guardians that begins Monday, Bobby Nightengale Jr. of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Analisi
After landing on the IL on July 7 due to an aggravation of a prior right hip injury, Buxton remained out for the Twins' first series coming out of the All-Star break against the Cubs over the weekend, but he was able to hit for the past few days and took part in defensive drills Saturday. The Twins' upcoming four-game series with the Guardians might help inform whether they fall into the buyers or sellers camp ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline, and having Buxton available for any of those contests would be a major boon.
