Buxton exits game with right knee injury

ARLINGTON -- Twins rookie center fielder Byron Buxton, who has been plagued by injuries in recent years, was involved in a scary play against the Rangers on Friday, as he was carted off the field in the first inning after running into the center-field wall trying to make a running catch.

Buxton, trying to rob Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor, ran into the wall in left-center field and appeared to injure his right knee. Buxton tried to walk off the field with the help of manager Paul Molitor and trainer Dave Pruemer, but collapsed while trying to walk.
