Can the Twins turn their season around with the return of their best hitter?
The Twins have reinstated Byron Buxton from the 10-day injured list, the team announced. Carson McCusker was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul as a corresponding move.
Despite Minnesota's recent fire sale, Buxton, who has been sidelined with left ribcage inflammation since July 27, has made it known that he is sticking with the Twins no matter what. Although it's unlikely, Buxton's decision to stay in Minnesota could pay off as soon as this season, as since the Twins dismantled their roster on July 31, they have gone 5-4 with a +9 run differential.
