Twins place Byron Buxton on injured list, call up Tristan Gray

Summary

The Minnesota Twins placed center fielder Byron Buxton on the injured list due to a right hip strain, marking his second stint this month. Buxton has struggled with the injury throughout the season, leading to the Twins calling up infielder Tristan Gray to fill his roster spot instead of top prospect Walker Jenkins. General manager Jeremy Zoll noted the team's intention to pursue pitching help ahead of the trade deadline. Buxton received an injection midweek in hopes of minimizing the issue moving forward.
