Minnesota Twins<\/a> outfielder Byron Buxton<\/a> exited his club’s 4-2 loss<\/a> to the Athletics<\/a> on Tuesday night in Sacramento, California, appearing to injure his hip in the bottom of the seventh inning.<\/p>\n

On a triple off the bat of Henry Bolte<\/a>, Buxton reached for the ball as it bounced in the outfield and walked gingerly around the grass before being met by the Twins’ training staff.<\/p>\n

Buxton, 32, has already been sent to the injured list twice this season for right hip injuries. He landed on the IL on July 7 with a strain\/impingement, which forced him to miss the All-Star Game. He was activated July 20 only to be sent back to the IL on July 29 after aggravating the injury.<\/p>\n

“I think the thing is, he’s been dealing with the hip issue,” Twins manager Derek Shelton said after the loss. “And I think it kind of caught when he went to stop on the ball that got hit in the gap.”<\/p>\n

Buxton was replaced by Trevor Larnach<\/a>, who was 0-for-1. In his postgame media availability, Shelton said that Buxton was still being examined in the training room.<\/p>\n

“I just felt with where he was at, I made the decision to go, ‘OK, let’s get him off the field,'” Shelton said. “We just need to make sure we can have a look at it.”<\/p>\n

Buxton, who was 0-for-3 batting out of the No. 2 hole, is hitting .254 this season with 25 home runs and 46 RBIs.br\/]<\/p>\n
