If you thought his being ejected last night was bad enough, buxton’s rehab is now stalled because of “hip discomfort”

See ya in March, Byron. Could kind of use you, but not worth the risk if you aren’t 1,000% healthy. We’ll just roll with a minor league outfield. I don’t want to be called a loser again, so I’ll just say Godspeed young man 

[Jocko87]

If Kiersey has indeed made it to the park on time he needs to be in the 9 hole for Martin against the righty.  Someone catch the damn ball please.

[Jerr]

OK' Twins got ya on the radio and unpacking after my move, can ya please give me something good to listen to....like a WIN as I unpack???

I'm beginning to think we won't see Buck or Correa again this season.

Unfortunately you might be correct.

Correa almost for sure. Last we heard he hadn’t started running with spikes on yet. Then for sure a rehab. September 5, running out of time

One of these years we’ll catch that lightning in a bottle, and the guy who hadn’t seen live pitching since July 12 will come back for the postseason and dominate. My breath is not being held.

[John Kelsey]

Hopefully the last time we have to see Martin in CF this year.

One wonders why Helman instead of Kiersey in the first place.

Maybe we can win the world series this year. because of Vasquez's baby if you guys have heard the rumor.

I wonder if Micky Mantle or Tony Oliva ever played with any discomfort.

Sure, but mantle was probably sauced to the gills to be fair

So there ARE options. 😀

[USAFChief]

How about putting up some early runs for a change?

Is Minnesota a recreational marijuana state? 😂 I’d be eating those gummies like sunflower seeds if I were byron

[tony&rodney]

Whether it was the hip or being blown away by the Omaha Cubs pitcher in two at bats, Buxton looked like a gummy was in order. Hope he feels better today.

After seeing the Keirsey news, I was hoping last time was the last time.  But, less of a rookie > superior defender/platoon advantage rookie at a defense-first position.

I think Buxton's done after this last setback.  It's amazing how brittle he is.  As for Correa, I think the fact that they're in a good spot for the playoffs means they don't feel like they need to have him in a rush to contribute.  Get as close to 100% as possible, come back for the final week of the regular season as the 'rehab assignment' and then be ready to go in the postseason.  Of course, if Boston or Detroit ever wakes up and starts a run or the Twins really crater, then maybe that plan changes.

But he played and played great.

[USAFChief]

Larnach never sees a strike and K's on 5 pitches.

Sigh...

And then a pitch clock violation strikeout 😂

[USAFChief]

Looking good through 1/2 inning.

Reflection of the manager.  Lollygagging, lack of fundamentals...it's par for the course with this group.
