Buxton recently received a cortisone shot in his injured hip, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
The outfielder's right hip inflammation appears to have been caused by scar tissue from a similar injury he suffered in 2022, per Twins head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta. Buxton should be able to increase his activity level over the next few days. The Twins sound optimistic that he'll be able to return from the IL when first eligible, but Buxton has been slow to return from similar injuries in the past.
