Byron Buxton Absent On Friday
6 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (back, ribs) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday. Max Kepler remains in center field and in the leadoff spot, while Jake Cave is getting another start in right field and is batting sixth against Phillies starting pitcher Nick Pivetta. Buxton needs another day off after colliding with the outfield wall on Tuesday, but he shouldn't be out for much longer. He's teased fantasy owners in the past with his power/speed combination, but injuries and inconsistency have made him a maddening player to own. Kepler is just 4-for-20 (.200) to begin the year, but his DFS value is boosted by hitting in the top spot in the order.
