The Minnesota Twins<\/a> placed All-Star outfielder Byron Buxton<\/a> on the 10-day injured list Tuesday as he continues to deal with left rib cage inflammation.<\/p>\n

The move came two days after Twins manager Rocco Baldelli told reporters Buxton wouldn’t require an IL stint.<\/p>\n

Buxton, 31, left Saturday’s 9-3 loss to the visiting Washington Nationals<\/a> because of left-side soreness and sat out Sunday and Monday. His move to the IL is retroactive to Sunday.<\/p>\n

Though Buxton has dealt with a spate of injuries throughout his career, the two-time All-Star has mostly been healthy this season except for going on the concussion injured list in May.<\/p>\n

Buxton is hitting .282 with 23 homers, 59 RBIs and 17 steals in 85 games this season. He has a .343 on-base percentage, .561 slugging percentage and .905 OPS. He is a career .249 hitter with 156 homers and 412 RBIs in 857 games for the Twins since the 2015 season.<\/p>\n

In corresponding roster moves, the Twins reinstated catcher Ryan Jeffers<\/a> from the paternity list and selected the contract of right-handed pitcher Pierson Ohl from Triple-A St. Paul.<\/p>\n

Jeffers, 28, is batting .254 with seven homers and 34 RBIs in 83 games this season.<\/p>\n

Ohl, 25, has yet to make his major league debut. In 22 games (five starts) split among Class-A Fort Myers, Double-A Wichita and St. Paul, Ohl has gone 5-2 with a 2.17 ERA and two saves. He’s fanned 79 batters and walked just 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jul 29, 2025, 06:55 PM ET The Minnesota Twins placed All-Star outfielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32994,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-32993","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32993"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32993\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
