Twins place Byron Buxton on 10-day IL with hip impingement

The Minnesota Twins placed outfielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list on Sunday due to a right hip impingement, an injury that has been a recurring issue for the three-time All-Star throughout the season. Buxton's absence was called before the team's game against the Chicago White Sox, with outfielder Gabriel Gonzalez from Triple-A St. Paul being called up to take his place.

The Twins manager, Derek Shelton, expressed their commitment to getting Buxton back this season, while also mentioning that surgery could be a potential option. Buxton has struggled with the injury, missing the past three games after aggravating it while trying to catch a ball in the outfield. The team's general manager, Jeremy Zoll, hinted at the possibility of surgical intervention for the player. Overall, Buxton has struggled this season, hitting .254 with 25 home runs and 46 RBIs in 93 games.
