Twins' Byron Buxton: Aggravates hip injury

Buxton was removed from Sunday's game against the Yankees due to an aggravation of a right hip injury, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

The center fielder was caught stealing after singling in the first inning -- which ended a streak of 37 straight successful steal attempts going back to 2024 -- before being lifted from Sunday's contest. Buxton had just rejoined the lineup Saturday after sitting out four contests due to a hip impingement, and it's not yet clear if the aggravation is more severe than the initial injury. He'll have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery and should be considered day-to-day heading into Tuesday's series opener versus Cleveland.
