Buxton (foot injury) scratched from rehab game

NEW YORK -- Twins manager Paul Molitor told reporters before Monday's game against the Yankees that Byron Buxton's first rehab game on Sunday went fine without any migraine-related issues, and that he remained a candidate to return once eligible to be activated from the 10-day disabled list Wednesday.

But roughly an hour later, Buxton was scratched from Class A Advanced Fort Myers' lineup, as he fouled a ball off his foot during Sunday's game and will be re-evaluated. Buxton was slated to play center field in rehab games on Monday and Tuesday before a potential return to the Twins on Wednesday.
