Twins' Byron Buxton: Checking out of lineup Wednesday
Buxton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
The Twins are easing Buxton back in the mix after he returned from the injured list last Thursday. He'll head to the bench for the second time in six games since being activated, but Buxton has looked healthy when he's been included in the lineup. Buxton has recorded exactly one hit in each of his last four starts while plating four runs and scoring three times.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Receiving Sunday off
Buxton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
The 30-year-old started the past two games after missing the past month due to a hip injury, and he'll receive Sunday off after going 2-for-6 with a solo homer, an additional RBI and an additional run scored. Willi Castro is starting in center field Sunday with Buxton on the bench.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Goes yard in return to lineup
Buxton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 8-4 loss to the Reds.
Seeing his first action for the Twins since Aug. 12 after recovering from a hip injury, Buxton launched a Julian Aguiar changeup over the fence in left-center field in the fifth inning. Per Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com, Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli acknowledged after the game that Buxton isn't quite 100 percent and probably won't be able to play every day to close out the regular season, but with the team fighting to hang onto the final wild-card spot in the AL, the Twins will take whatever contribution they can get from him. Through 91 games this season, the 30-year-old is slashing .275/.333/.534 with 17 homers, six steals, 50 RBI and 56 runs.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Reinstated from injured list
The Twins activated Buxton (hip) from the 10-day injured list Thursday.
The Twins are idle Thursday, but Buxton will be back for the start of their weekend series against the Reds on Friday, as expected. Buxton had been set to return from his hip injury last week but felt lingering soreness while on a rehab assignment. However, he's been able to run without issue in recent days, clearing the way for his activation. Buxton should be the Twins' everyday center fielder, although the club might try to mix in some off days as he comes back from injury.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Set to return Friday
The Twins will reinstate Buxton (hip) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Hip inflammation has kept Buxton on the shelf since mid-August, but after several days of running without any issues, he's now been cleared to return to the Twins' lineup for the beginning of their next series against Cincinnati. The 30-year-old outfielder was slashing .237/.338/.661 since the All-Star break before he got hurt, and he'll presumably reclaim his role as Minnesota's primary center fielder once activated.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Running without issue
Buxton (hip) said Monday that he's been running without issue for the last few days, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
He was also able to do some defensive drills Monday. Buxton had to be pulled off his rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul after he felt renewed soreness in his right hip during a game on Sept. 4, but he might he might be ready to test things out in game action again soon. It's not clear whether the Twins would ask him to resume a rehab assignment or consider immediately putting him back onto the active roster. Buxton has been shelved since mid-August.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Experiencing renewed soreness
Buxton will be re-evaluated after feeling renewed soreness in his right hip during Wednesday's rehab game with Triple-A St. Paul, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Buxton had been slated for activation from the 10-day injured list Friday following a pair of rehab games, but now his status is up in the air as his hip soreness lingers. The Twins should have more information on the outfielder after he's re-evaluated. Buxton has been sidelined since mid-August.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Beginning rehab assignment
Buxton (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.
Buxton will start in center field for the Triple-A club Monday in what will be his first game action since he went on the injured list in mid-August with right hip inflammation. He is slated to play seven innings for St. Paul on Monday and nine innings for the affiliate Wednesday before being activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, assuming all goes well.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Could begin rehab assignment soon
Buxton (hip) worked out without any issues Wednesday and a decision on whether to send him on a rehab assignment will be made within the next two days, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Buxton's timetable isn't clear but it sounds like he could begin a rehab assignment this weekend. The Twins have said he may only need to play a rehab game or two. Buxton left a game Aug. 12 due to right hip inflammation and subsequently received a cortisone shot. He's been increasing his activity the past week. Given Buxton's track record of slow recoveries from injuries, however, it wouldn't be surprising if his timetable were pushed back again.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Will require rehab assignment
Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Monday that Buxton (hip) is "getting closer" to a rehab assignment but is "not there yet," Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Baldelli added that while Buxton's rehab assignment is expected to be brief, he will require one before being activated from the 10-day injured list. The outfielder hasn't played since Aug. 12 because of right hip inflammation and would seem to be at least a week or so away from rejoining the Twins' lineup.
