Byron Buxton Back In Action Against Braves
1 year agoMinnesota Twins outfielder/designated hitter Byron Buxton (back) has returned to designated-hitter duties and is batting cleanup against the Atlanta Braves and right-hander Bryce Elder on Tuesday. Buxton has been dealing with back spasms of late and served in a pinch-hitting role in each of the last two games. He's back in the starting lineup now, though, and fantasy managers will want to get him back into their lineups. The 29-year-old is also managing knee issues that have kept him from playing center field all year to this point. Buxton has gone hitless in his last four appearances over 10 trips to the plate with five strikeouts. He's hitting barely over the Mendoza Line in 219 at-bats in 2023, but he does still have 13 home runs and six stolen bases for fantasy managers.
