Buxton was removed from Tuesday's game against the Royals with right hip soreness, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Buxton went 0-for-2 at the plate before the Twins took him out of the game in the fifth inning. The team hasn't provided any information regarding the severity of the outfielder's injury, but more details could come in the near future. If Buxton ends up having to miss additional games, Alan Roden would likely be the next man up to start in the outfield.
