Byron Buxton - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Exits early Sunday Buxton was removed from Sunday's game against the Yankees prior to the bottom of the first inning due to an apparent injury, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After reaching base on an infield single in his first at-bat in the top of the frame, Buxton was thrown out on a steal attempt. He saw a streak of 37 consecutive successful steal attempts come to an end as a result, and he may have come away with an injury while he was running to second base. The Twins should provide an update on Buxton's condition later in the day, but he notably missed four consecutive starts due to a right hip impingement before he returned to the lineup Saturday.

Out for third straight game Buxton (hip) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Impact The Twins are viewing Buxton day-to-day while he recovers from a right hip impingement, which will relegate him to the bench for a third consecutive game. Minnesota is off Thursday, so Buxton's status will presumably be reassessed Friday, when the team opens a three-game series versus the Yankees. Ryan Kreidler will pick up another start in center field Wednesday in place of Buxton.
