Twins' Byron Buxton: Out for third straight game
Buxton (hip) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.
The Twins are viewing Buxton day-to-day while he recovers from a right hip impingement, which will keep him on the bench for a third consecutive game. Minnesota is off Thursday, so Buxton's condition will presumably be reassessed Friday, when the team opens a three-game series versus the Yankees. Ryan Kreidler will pick up another start in center field Wednesday in place of Buxton.
