The Minnesota Twins were bracing for bad news on Byron Buxton‘s injured shoulder and on Tuesday, their biggest fears came to reality. After seeing a specialist in California, it was revealed that the left shoulder subluxation that was originally diagnosed on Aug. 1 was actually a torn labrum, meaning that Buxton will undergo season-ending surgery on his shoulder and require a recovery time of five to six months.
The injury comes at an awful time for the Twins who are reeling at just about every position ahead of their three-game series with the Washington Nationals.
