Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton likely faces postseason hip surgery

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton will likely require surgery on his right hip during the upcoming offseason. The 32-year-old indicated that he has managed the injury since the 2021 season and intends to continue playing until the condition forces him to stop. Buxton has been sidelined for the past nine days, marking his third stint on the injured list this season due to a hip impingement. In 93 games this year, he has recorded a.254 batting average with 25 home runs and 46 RBIs. Despite his current absence, there remains a possibility for him to rejoin the team for a potential playoff run as the Twins currently sit 3.5 games out of the third Wild Card spot.
