# Twins activate Buxton for Field of Dreams game 2026-08-14T02:04:01+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Minnesota Twins reinstated All-Star center fielder Byron Buxton from the 10-day injured list before their Field of Dreams game against the Philadelphia Phillies in Dyersville, Iowa. Buxton missed 14 games with a right hip impingement, his second IL stint this season. He was batting second and playing center field on Thursday night, batting.263 with 25 home runs and an.864 OPS in 82 games this season. MLB allowed a 27th player for the special game, so the Twins did not need a roster move. Manager Derek Shelton said Buxton is in a good spot but will need management to avoid setbacks. With less than a quarter of the season left and the Twins in playoff races, the team must balance keeping Buxton fresh with fielding their best lineup. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Byron Buxton, Field of Dreams, injuries, Minnesota Twins, MLB, playoff race Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/twins-activate-buxton-for-field-of-dreams-game/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
