Minnesota Twins place Byron Buxton on 10-day injured list

The Minnesota Twins placed Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list Tuesday after the center fielder aggravated a hip injury that has lingered through much of the season. Buxton, 32, had missed five games in May with a right hip impingement and sat out four more games last week after tweaking the same area.

He returned to the lineup Saturday but left Sunday's game in the first inning after an awkward slide while attempting to steal second.

"We dealt with the hip earlier in the year, gave it some time and it calmed down, and then gave it some time again, and it reaggravated," Twins manager Derek Shelton said.

904 OPS and 25 home runs in 75 games. His home run total ranks tied for third in the American League. He was selected as an American League starter for next week's All-Star Game. The Twins recalled outfielder Alan Roden from Triple-A St.

Paul to fill the roster spot.
