The Minnesota Twins have placed center fielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list due to a recurring hip injury that has affected him throughout much of the season. Buxton, who was selected as a starter for the American League in the upcoming All-Star Game, is expected to be sidelined during the All-Star break.

In 75 games this season, Buxton has posted a .271 batting average and leads the team with a .904 OPS. He has also hit 25 home runs, ranking him tied for third among all American League players. To fill the roster vacancy left by Buxton’s absence, the Twins have recalled outfielder Alan Roden from their Triple-A affiliate in St. Paul.
