Byron Buxton Still Out With Shoulder Injury
Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (shoulder) will start on the bench for Sunday's series finale at Target Field against the division-rival Kansas City Royals, according to MLB.com. Ryan Kreidler will make another start in center field for the Twins and will bat seventh against Royals left-hander Noah Cameron. Buxton smashed into the outfield wall in Friday's game against the Royals and was pulled early, and he will now miss a second straight start as a result. However, the 32-year-old veteran's injury isn't considered all that serious, so he could be back on the field for Tuesday's series opener against the division-rival Detroit Tigers after a scheduled off day on Monday. The two-time All-Star has just five stolen bases and isn't expected to run much at this point in his career, but he has been a strong asset in the power department yet again in 2026 with 18 home runs and 28 RBI in 55 games across 248 plate appearances. Check back on Tuesday to see if Buxton is back in the starting nine. He's been a must-start in traditional leagues in his 12th season in the majors.
