Twins Place Byron Buxton on 10-Day IL Due to Hip Inflammation

Minnesota recalls Edouard Julien as they navigate a tight playoff race without their star center fielder.

Buxton's MRI showed no structural damage, but ongoing discomfort led to the IL decision.
The move is retroactive to Tuesday, allowing Buxton to return as early as August 23.
Buxton has struggled with multiple injuries this season, impacting his availability.
Julien has been recalled from Triple-A St. Paul to provide infield depth.
The Twins are currently holding the second American League wild card spot.
