Twins place All-Star OF Buxton on IL with hip strain August 23 sharefacebooktwitterredditlink HOUSTON (AP) The Minnesota Twins have placed Blank Jersey All-Star outfielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list with a low grade strain of his right hip.Its very tough news, of course," manager Rocco Baldelli said. But also knowing with what Bucks been dealing with, there wasnt actually much of a decision to be made... and I think Buck also knows that the right thing for him to do was to take a period of time... and get himself in a better spot physically so he can come back and do all the things that hes been doing for us Matthew Boyd Jersey all year long and hopefully more."Buxton, who is tied for third in the American League with 28 homers, left Monday's lo s to the Rangers with tightne s in the hip. I think we were able to avoid a major, major injury or something where were talking about a month or the rest of the season," Baldelli said. Were not talking about that, which is a good thing."Buxton has also been dealing with a knee problem and Baldelli hopes the Mikie Mahtook Jersey time off will help him recover from both i sues.His knee has been a fairly consistent i sue since April," Baldelli said. So I think this period of time will help that also settle down."Buxton is hitting .224 with 13 doubles, three triples and 51 RBIs. An All-Star this season, Buxton has a.306 on-base percentage, a .526 slugging percentage and an .833 OPS in 92 games this season. Shortstop Carlos Correa said Buxton will be mi sed and that he reached out to him Tuesday to offer support.It's hard for the team and it's hard for himself, obviously," Correa said. I texted him and I said: Its time for you to focus on your recovery and try to get back with us as soon as po sible.'"Also on Tuesday, the Twins selected the contract of right-hander Aaron Sanchez from Triple-A St. Paul, recalled catcher Caleb Dixon Machado Jersey Hamilton and optioned left-hander Devin Smeltzer.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports in this topic American League Major League Baseball Minnesota Twins Aaron Sanchez Devin Smeltzer Byron Buxton Texas Rangers Minnesota Twins share World Cup fans find booze at hotels, Qatar's 1 liquor store Denny Mclain Jersey Qatar's strict rules regarding alcohol have drawn attention as it hosts the World Cup 18 MINS AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Sterling leaves England World Cup camp after home break-in England forward Raheem Sterling has left his teams World Cup camp in Qatar and returned to the U.K. after a break-in at his home 22 MINS AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Ronaldo looks to shine like Mbapp and Me si at World Cup Cristiano Ronaldo has been overshadowed by the brilliance of Lionel Me si and Kylian Mbapp so far at the World Cup 46 MINS AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Ottawa hosts Los Angeles after Giroux's 2-goal game The Ottawa Senators host the Los Angeles Kings after Claude Giroux's two-goal game against the San Jose Sharks in the Senators' 5-2 win 1 HOUR AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Penguins host the Blue Jackets following Kapanen's hat trick The Pittsburgh Penguins host the Columbus Blue Jackets after Kasperi Kapanen's hat trick against the St. Louis Blues in the Penguins' 6-2 win 1 Victor Martinez Jersey HOUR AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS
