Byron Buxton Health, Injury Updates & History

Suffered a left-hand contusion when HBP on his left hand in the July 9 game against the Cubs, x-rays...

Buxton is expected to be activated from the 7-day injured list concussion protocol before Friday's game at Seattle

Has missed majority of May due to right knee soreness, on the way back on rehab assignment - past right knee issues including clean-up surgery on said knee, look for the two-way ball player to return in the coming days

Has been wearing back wrap for most of season to deal with back spasms - not an overly concerning issue as it can be managed with stretching and heat pads

Nearing return from rib injury, should be close to 100% and should return before third week of June - placed on 10-day IL after he was hit in the ribs with a fastball on June 2

Has not played since taking a fastball to the ribs on Thursday, but X-rays were negative for a fracture - should be back in the lineup soon
