Byron Buxton has been dealing with a right hip impingement that has already sent him to the IL twice this season. He exited early in a recent game due to hip discomfort and has not played since. Twins GM Jeremy Zoll described offseason surgery as a potential option while noting Buxton is still day-to-day. His production has cratered since the initial hip injury, with a .172/.274/.203 slash line and zero home runs in 64 plate appearances.
