Byron Buxton Injured Tuesday
6 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton was removed from the game early on Tuesday and is being evaluated for back pain after crashing into the center field wall. Buxton was hitless with a run scored and three strikeouts in four plate appearances in this one before departing. He has four hits (three doubles) in 14 plate appearances (.308) to begin the year, but he's also struck out five times. Jake Cave entered for Buxton and would see more playing time if he's forced to miss time. The speedy outfielder is still intriguing for his power/speed combination, but injuries and poor play have kept him from reaching his potential in the big leagues.
