It means <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox9.com\/sports\/byron-buxton-joe-ryan-minnesota-twins-mlb-all-star-game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Buxton will miss the Major League Baseball All-Star Game<\/a>, after he was voted in as a starter over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p data-v-94395e58=\"\">Buxton has missed four of the last six games because of the injury. &#8216;<\/p>\n<p original-article-post=\"\" origination_station=\"KMSP\" data-v-ec26887a=\"\" data-v-94395e58=\"\">By the numbers:<\/p>\n<p data-v-94395e58=\"\">Buxton, recently named a starting outfielder for the American League in the 2026 All-Star Game, has put up impressive numbers this season. He\u2019s played in 75 of the team\u2019s 91 games, hitting .271 with 16 doubles, one triple, 25 home runs, 45 RBI, 57 runs scored and seven stolen bases. His .575 slugging percentage is second in the AL, he\u2019s tied for third in home runs and ranks sixth in OPS.<\/p>\n<p data-v-94395e58=\"\">Buxton\u2019s absence leaves a gap in the Twins\u2019 lineup, especially given his recent All-Star selection and strong season stats. Alan Roden recalled from Triple-A St. Paul to fill roster spot\u00a0<\/p>\n<p original-article-post=\"\" origination_station=\"KMSP\" data-v-ec26887a=\"\" data-v-94395e58=\"\">Dig deeper:<\/p>\n<p data-v-94395e58=\"\">To fill Buxton\u2019s place, the Twins have recalled outfielder Alan Roden from Triple-A St. Paul. Roden, 26, has played 33 games for the Saints this season, hitting .272 with six doubles, eight home runs, 24 RBI, 22 runs scored and 24 walks. He\u2019s posted a .397 on-base percentage, a .512 slugging percentage and a .909 OPS.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p original-article-post=\"\" origination_station=\"KMSP\" data-v-ec26887a=\"\" data-v-94395e58=\"\">Why you should care:<\/p>\n<p data-v-94395e58=\"\">With Buxton sidelined, Roden will get a chance to contribute at the major league level. Fans will be watching to see if Roden can help keep the Twins competitive while Buxton recovers. Roden\u2019s call-up follows a strong showing in St. Paul, and his performance will be closely watched as the Twins navigate Buxton\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n<p original-article-post=\"\" origination_station=\"KMSP\" data-v-ec26887a=\"\" data-v-94395e58=\"\">What we don&#8217;t know:<\/p>\n<p data-v-94395e58=\"\">It\u2019s unclear how long Buxton will be out beyond the minimum 10 days or how the lineup will adjust in his absence.<\/p>\n<p>    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox9.com\/tag\/mlb\/twins\" class=\"tags-tag\" data-v-94395e58=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Minnesota Twins<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox9.com\/tag\/sports\" class=\"tags-tag\" data-v-94395e58=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sports<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) &#8211; The Minnesota Twins are making roster moves after losing a key player to injury.\u00a0&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":919454,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[41],"tags":[1266,62,57673,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-919453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-mlb","tag-sports","tag-twins","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116880900615390655","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/919453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=919453"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/919453\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/919454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=919453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=919453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=919453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
