The Minnesota Twins are set to welcome back outfielder Byron Buxton from the injured list ahead of their game against the Cincinnati Reds. Buxton has been recovering from right hip inflammation since mid-August.
Manager Rocco Baldelli announced the move following a recent win and indicated that utility player Austin Martin will be sent to Triple-A to accommodate Buxton's return. Buxton's comeback comes after a rehab stint at St. Paul and a frustrating season marked by multiple injuries.
