Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton will undergo surgery on his right hip and will miss the remainder of the season.
The 28‑year‑old has been on the injured list since August 30, after a hip injury began to limit his play earlier in the campaign.
Twins officials confirmed that the procedure will be performed shortly, with Buxton’s return to the field unlikely before the next season.
Buxton, who has been a key contributor for the Twins, will now focus on rehabilitation and recovery as the team prepares for the final stretch of the year.
