The Minnesota Twins announced today that they have placed outfielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day disabled list with a left great toe fracture. Buxton played in 28 games this season, hitting .156 (14-for-90) with four doubles, four RBI and five stolen bases.
To replace Buxton on the 25-man roster, the Twins have recalled right-handed pitcher Aaron Slegers from Triple-A Rochester. Slegers made nine starts for the Red Wings, going 5-2 with a 3.27 ERA (55.0 IP, 20 ER), eight walks and 31 strikeouts. The 2017 Twins minor league Pitcher of the Year was recalled by the Twins earlier this season but did not appear in a game.
