Byron Buxton Back In The Lineup For The Twins
5 months agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is making his first post-All-Star appearance on Saturday at home versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Buxton will be starting in center field and batting third against right-hander Freddy Peralta. The former first-round draft pick has been enjoying a stellar July, batting .452 with six doubles, one home run, and knocking in four runs to go along with his 1.242 OPS. With the Twins currently in the second Wild-Card spot and some big bats ailing (Carlos Correa, Alex Kirilloff, Royce Lewis), they will rely heavily on Buxton to carry the load until the reinforcements return.
