Byron Buxton Plays Center Field In Rehab Game
2 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder/designated hitter Byron Buxton (hamstring) played seven innings in center field in a minor-league rehab game with Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday and went 1-for-2 at the plate with two walks. It's a notable milestone, as it was the first time that Buxton has played the field this year due to injuries. He has served only as a DH for the Twins in 2023 due to a nagging knee injury, and he landed on the injured list on Aug. 4 with a right-hamstring strain. Barring a setback in the minors, Buxton could be back with Minnesota by this weekend or early next week. In 85 games for the Twins, he's barely hitting over the Mendoza Line with 17 home runs, 17 doubles, a triple, 42 RBI, nine stolen bases and 49 runs scored.
