Byron Buxton is on the 10-day IL for the third time in 2026, all due to hip-related injuries. He last played after exiting a game early with hip discomfort and has shown a dramatic power drop since returning from his first IL stint on July 20. In 73 plate appearances since that return, he has just two extra-base hits and no home runs after hitting 25 through July 5. GM Jeremy Zoll confirmed offseason hip surgery is being considered.
