The Minnesota Twins announced that outfielder Byron Buxton will undergo season-ending arthroscopic knee surgery, per Dan Hayes of The Athletic.
Buxton had 28 home runs, 51 RBI and an .833 OPS in 92 games this season. He made the All-Star team for the first time in his eight-year MLB career.
Per Twins' team sources to Hayes, the surgery is considered "a cleanup," and he should be ready for spring training.
Buxton has been out of the Twins' lineup since Aug. 22. He landed on the injured list one day later with a right hip strain.
