MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins reinstated designated hitter Byron Buxton from the injured list before their game on Thursday against Detroit after he missed 10 games with a bruised left rib.
Buxton was hit by a pitch from Cleveland’s Tanner Bibee in the game on June 1 and landed on the injured list for the first time this season. The Twins have used the 2017 Gold Glove Award winner exclusively as a designated hitter this year after a persistent knee injury significantly limited him in 2022. The team has not committed to a timetable for returning Buxton to center field.
Outfielder Trevor Larnach was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul to make room on the 26-man roster.
Buxton was batting .220 with nine doubles, one triple, 10 home runs, 23 RBIs, 26 walks and 31 runs in 50 games before he was hurt.
