Byron Buxton out indefinitely with hairline fracture in toe

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Twins say outfielder Byron Buxton is out indefinitely with a hairline fracture of his left big toe.

Twins manager Paul Molitor said Saturday that an MRI confirmed the injury, which occurred when Buxton fouled a ball off his toe in a rehab game in Florida last Sunday.

Buxton had been placed on the 10-day DL on April 18 because of migraines. The team was hoping to get him back during its homestand wrapping up on Thursday. But Molitor said that's no longer likely.

"It's going to obviously cost us more games than we originally thought," Molitor said.
