The Minnesota Twins placed outfielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list on Sunday due to a right hip impingement. This marks the third time this season the All-Star has been sidelined with hip issues. The move occurred ahead of Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox, leading the team to call up outfielder Gabriel Gonzalez from Triple-A St. Paul. Manager Derek Shelton noted that the organization intends to work toward Buxton’s return later this season, though general manager Jeremy Zoll indicated surgery remains a possible consideration. Buxton has been held out of the lineup for the past three games after aggravating the injury while attempting to chase down a ball in the gap during Tuesday's matchup against the Athletics. Gonzalez, who holds status as the team's No. 11 prospect, rejoins the major league roster for the second time this year.
