Byron Buxton Placed On Paternity List
1 year agoThe Minnesota Twins officially placed outfielder Byron Buxton on the paternity list on Monday and recalled outfielder Trevor Larnach from the minors in a corresponding move. There's a chance that Buxton will miss all of this week's series against the Seattle Mariners, so fantasy managers need to act accordingly with their starting lineups for the week. Larnach, meanwhile, could play in each of Minnesota's games this week with Buxton away from the team. The 29-year-old Buxton is hitting under the Mendoza Line this year (.195) and has a weak .284 on-base percentage, but he's still been useful for fantasy managers with 17 home runs, 12 doubles, a triple, 40 RBI and nine stolen bases in 334 plate appearances. Buxton has gone just .9-for-61 (.148) with three homers, nine RBI, two steals and nine runs in 16 games in the month of July.
