Byron Buxton Scratched from Twins Lineup with Hip Flexor Soreness

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup against the Miami Marlins due to right hip flexor soreness. The injury was reported by Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North shortly before first pitch. Buxton’s history with injuries makes any physical setback a concern for the Twins, who will likely monitor his status day-to-day. The team has not yet provided a specific timeline for his return to the starting lineup following this latest physical issue.
