Byron Buxton Returns to Lineup Despite Lingering Knee Issues
The Minnesota Twins plan to have Byron Buxton in and out of the lineup over the coming weeks as the MVP hopeful continues to resolve persistent knee issues.
Buxton’s knee is good enough for the centerfielder to be in Sunday’s lineup against the Cleveland Guardians; however, manager Rocco Baldelli noted that the team would take things day-by-day as they work Buxton up to full strength.
