August 11, 2025 12:52 PM : The Twins activated Buxton (rib) from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll start in center field and bat leadoff in the Twins' series opener versus the Yankees.
Analysis: Buxton has been out of commission since late July due to left rib cartilage irritation, but he will skip a rehab assignment and go directly back onto the active roster for the start of the Twins' series in New York. Carson McCusker was sent down to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.
