The Minnesota Twins plan to activate Byron Buxton from the injured list prior to Friday\'s game against the Cincinnati Reds.
Buxton has been sidelined since Aug. 13 with right hip inflammation.
A former All-Star and Platinum Glove winner in center field, Buxton is on the injured list for the second time this season. He missed 23 games earlier this season with right knee inflammation and has missed 28 games with this most recent injury.
