Byron Buxton Injured In Wednesday's Win
2 years agoMinnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that outfielder Byron Buxton (head, leg) will be on the team's flight on Wednesday night to New York and that "we're going to see how he wakes up (feeling) tomorrow" after a hard collision at second base in the 3-1 win over the White Sox. "His leg got hit pretty good. He flipped. He hit his head. There was a whole lot going on there," Baldelli said. The 29-year-old went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts as the designated hitter and was able to leave the field under his own power, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day until we know more about how serious his injuries are. Buxton has mostly been serving as the DH as the Twins ease him in early on, and he entered Wednesday's ballgame hitting .308 (12-for-39) in his first 10 games.
