Twins News
Byron Buxton's looming surgery is a crushing blow for a Minnesota Twins team whose playoff hopes are flickering like a dying ember. After a disappointing 4-1 loss to the White Sox, where Zebby Matthews surrendered three home runs in a single outing, it's clear the pitching staff needs more than just the occasional bright spot. While the bats have been hot lately, averaging 6.7 runs over the last week, they were silent when it mattered most. The weight of missed opportunities weighs heavily on fans, especially with the season record now at 67-73 and the playoff window rapidly closing. In a glimmer of hope, prospect Ben Ross has made his way to the big leagues, but with Buxton potentially sidelined for an extended period, will it be enough to spark a late-season surge?
