Twins get win, but deal with Buxton injury

The Minnesota Twins picked up a 5-4 road win over Houston on Monday night, but the bigger concern is Byron Buxton. Buxton was out of the lineup with recurring hip discomfort after being limited to designated hitter duties Sunday. Minnesota Sports Fan reports Buxton was getting imaging, with the team initially viewing him as day-to-day rather than an injured-list situation. The timing is tough: Buxton has been one of the Twins’ biggest bats this season, and Minnesota is trying to stay in the American League Central race while continuing the series in Houston tonight. ESPN lists Joe Ryan as the probable starter against Houston’s Aaron Burrows.
