Byron Buxton Exits Early With Back Spasms
1 year agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (back) exited early from Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers due to back spasms. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout before leaving. The severity of Buxton's injury is unclear, and he is considered day-to-day. Willi Castro replaced Buxton in Saturday's game. The 29-year-old has struggled this season, slashing .207/.305/.442 with 13 home runs, 27 RBI, and 35 runs across 60 games. Buxton recently returned from the injured list after missing some time in June due to a rib contusion. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation, as the Twins will provide an update after Saturday's contest.
