Buxton ‘feeling great, no issues’ and more Twins injury updates from Zoll

Minnesota Twins general manager Jeremy Zoll provided several injury updates during the General Managers Meetings in Las Vegas on Tuesday. Outfielder Byron Buxton is reportedly feeling great with no issues following right hip impingement surgery, with hopes of being cleared for baseball activities after a December 21 checkup. Meanwhile, left fielder Trevor Larnach is scheduled for arthroscopic left wrist surgery on Friday after experiencing renewed symptoms during his offseason training.

Zoll also noted that pitcher Pablo López will begin mound throwing next week as he works back from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery to target a 2027 return. Additionally, Walker Jenkins and Jeff Hoffman are progressing positively from elbow procedures, while Zebby Matthews and Cole Sands remain on track for spring preparations without expected limitations.
