The blows keep coming for the Minnesota Twins, who have seen suspensions and injuries throw a wrench into their plans for a postseason push. Even though Byron Buxton was activated from the injured list with the first wave of September call-ups, he has yet to make an at-bat for the Twins after suffering a left shoulder subluxation on Aug. 1.
Initially, there was some hope that Buxton’s injury would continue to heal and by the time the Twins needed him in the lineup, he could return and make the impact the lineup has missed during his time on the shelf, but according to The Athletic’s Dan Hayes, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
