Buxton's injury further muddies Minnesota's status as buyers or sellers ahead of Thursday's MLB trade deadline as they remain within striking distance of the postseason.

Minnesota Twins star Byron Buxton was put on the 10-day injured list with left ribcage inflammation, per the team announcement. Buxton landed on the injured list yet again, something that has been very common in his MLB career.

The Minnesota Twins placed All-Star center fielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a rib injury. The move, retroactive to Sunday, comes after Buxton was removed from the Twins’ game against the Washington Nationals in the seventh inning on Saturday with soreness in his side.
