Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hip strain on Tuesday. He did not travel with the team to Houston. With Buxton sidelined, Gilberto Celestino and Jake Cave should see more playing time in Minnesota's outfield. Nick Gordon is in center field and is batting fifth on Tuesday against Houston Astros right-hander Justin Verlander, while Cave is in left field and batting eighth. The injury-prone Buxton will head back to the injured list, but he remains worth stashing after hitting .224/.306/.526 with an .833 OPS, 28 long balls, 51 RBI, 61 runs scored and six stolen bases to this point in the season.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) will undergo an MRI after injuring his hip in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers, per the Athletic's Aaron Gleeman. Buxton appeared to tweak something in his right knee during a swing and later exited after an attempted diving catch in center field. Manager Rocco Baldelli said that, in addition to the season-long right knee injury, Buxton has also played much of the season with a hip injury. It is a shame to hear that the 28-year-old may have to miss even more time, as he has slashed .224/.306/.526 with 28 home runs, 51 RBI, and six stolen bases this season. Fantasy managers should wait to see what the MRI yields, but they should start preparing a contingency plan should Buxton have to miss time.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton left his team's Monday game early with a knee injury. Buxton appeared to tweak something in his right knee during a swing, but he was able to stay in the game. Later, he attempted to make a diving catch in center field, stayed down afterward, and was then replaced in the outfield by Jake Cave. Buxton has had issues with his right knee before and has been playing through the pain for much of the year. There is no indication as to how serious the knee injury is at the moment, but look for the Twins to update his status before Tuesday's game.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is not in the starting lineup on Sunday for the series finale against the Texas Rangers. It appears to be a normal day of rest for Buxton. The 28-year-old went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and a walk in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers, and he's hitting .234 (11-for-47) with two home runs, five RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases in 13 games this month. Buxton is hitting only .222 this year, but he also has 28 homers, 51 RBI, 61 runs scored and five stolen bases in 338 at-bats, making him a must-start when he's on the field. Nick Gordon is taking over in center field on Sunday and will hit sixth against Rangers right-hander Kohei Arihara. Gordon won't be a bad DFS play Sunday. He's hitting .276/.320/.421 on the year with five homers, 23 RBI, 30 runs and six stolen bases in 261 at-bats.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton hit his 28th home run of the season Sunday, a two-run shot in the first inning of a 4-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Buxton also singled in four at-bats and stole a base, his fifth of the season. With a .250/.339/.577 slash line over his last 15 games with five homers and three steals in that span, Buxton has delivered on his draft-day promise. He's among the premiere players in the fantasy game, and his value only reaches new heights if he continues his recent stretch of stealing bases.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This appears to be a routine rest day, which seems to happen quite often to Buxton. Nick Gordon will play center field and bat sixth versus right-hander Ryan Pepiot on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should expect Buxton back in the lineup for their next contest. He should continue to see regular rest days down the stretch of the season.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Tyler Alexander, serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff. Buxton will return after missing the last two games with minor knee soreness, so fantasy managers need to get him back into their starting lineups. The 28-year-old hasn't hit for average this year (.220) and isn't running much (three stolen bases), but he does have 26 home runs, 46 RBI and 55 runs scored in 291 at-bats. In just five games played since the All-Star break, he's gone 5-for-18 (.278) with three home runs, three RBI and a stolen base.

Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that outfielder Byron Buxton (undisclosed) was not available in Monday's 5-3 win over the Tigers because of how he felt, per Twins writer Betsy Helfand. There were no more specifics, but this sounds like simple soreness, as Baldelli said he is hopeful Buxton can return to the lineup Tuesday. The 28-year-old has traded average for power this season, slashing .220/.296/.550 with 26 home runs, 46 RBI and three stolen bases in 324 plate appearances. Buxton's inability to stay healthy has plagued fantasy managers for many seasons, so hopefully he will be able to return shortly. Fantasy managers should check for more updates on Tuesday.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (knee) is back in center field and is hitting in his customary leadoff spot on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Buxton recently underwent a platelet-rich plasma injection in his knee and hadn't played since before the All-Star break. Now that he's back, fantasy managers will want to get him back into their lineups in all single-year leagues. The 28-year-old is hitting just .216 with a .293 on-base percentage in 73 games, but he also has 23 home runs, 11 doubles, three triples, 43 RBI, 50 runs scored and two stolen bases and is a must-start anytime he's on the field.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers. It appears that the Twins are giving their All-Star an extra day of rest following the break. Nick Gordon is starting in center field in his place and batting seventh against Detroit starter Michael Pineda. Buxton should be good to go on Sunday.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton made his mark in Tuesday's All-Star Game, going 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a strikeout in the American League's 3-2 win. Buxton followed up Giancarlo Stanton's fourth-inning two-run HR with a solo blast, crushing a high Tony Gonsolin offering into the left-field seats for what would be the winning run. The 28-year-old has managed to stay healthy so far this season, compiling a .216/.293/.531 slash line with 23 HR, 43 RBI, and two steals. The batting average and steals have not been what fantasy managers were hoping for, but the power and most importantly health have been there. Buxton will remain a fantasy asset as long as he can stay on the field.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton went 2-for-4 with a triple in the team's 12-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. July hasn't been kind to the 28-year-old thus far. This was his first multi-hit outing of the month. He's carried an ugly .128/.196/.383 slash line across 11 July games while striking out 18 times. It's been a weird year overall for Buxton. His 23 home runs are tied for seventh-most in the majors and he ranks in the 95th percentile in average exit velocity (92.7 mph) and in the 96th percentile in barrel rate (16.2%). However, he's batting just .212 with a 10th percentile strikeout rate (29.3%).

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (knee) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Colorado Rockies. Buxton will miss his third straight game due to right knee soreness. It's not an ailment that is expected to land him on the injured list, but the Twins are being extra cautious with the oft-injured star outfielder. The Twins remain hopeful that the 28-year-old will be able to return at some point this weekend, so fantasy managers should consider Buxton day-to-day. Buxton has as much upside as any player out there when he's healthy, so he's a must-start anytime he's in the lineup. Gilberto Celestino is in center field and is batting ninth on Friday against Rockies right-hander German Marquez.

Minnesota Twins skipper Rocco Baldelli is hoping that outfielder Byron Buxton (knee) will be able to return to the starting lineup on Friday or Saturday against the Colorado Rockies. Buxton is missing his second straight game on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians due to a sore right knee, but it appears the Twins are just continuing to be extra cautious with the oft-injured outfielder. The 28-year-old is hitting just .228 on the season, but he also has 19 home runs, 33 RBI and 38 runs scored in 51 games, making him a must-start when he's on the field. Fantasy managers will hopefully be able to get him back in their lineups this weekend, but given his track record, you shouldn't be surprised if he's not in there.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (knee) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians. It will be Buxton's second straight game on the bench as he manages a sore right knee that flared up after Tuesday's game. The Twins don't think the 28-year-old will land on the injured list, but with the oft-injured Buxton, fantasy managers should always be prepared for that possibility. He's hitting just .228 on the season, but he also has 19 home runs, 33 RBI and 38 runs scored in 51 games played, making him a must-start fantasy player when he's in the lineup. Nick Gordon is starting in center field again and is hitting ninth on Thursday against Guardians right-hander Zach Plesac. Gordon, who is hitting .261 with one homer in 142 at-bats, will be a low-upside DFS play.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (knee) was held out of Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians due to a right knee injury. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli stated that Buxton "couldn't move around well enough" to play in the game while adding, "He wasn't going to be able to produce out there based on the way he felt." Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com also reported that Buxton had a "pretty heavy wrap" on his right leg as he walked out of the clubhouse after the game. The team has been regularly resting Buxton this year, but his absence on Wednesday was more injury-related than rest-related. He's had ongoing problems with his right knee, so it's especially concerning to see the issue flaring up again. He should be considered day-to-day with a chance to sit out Thursday's series finale against the Guardians as well.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is sitting out on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays. This is just a routine day of rest for the 28-year-old, who's been on fire since the calendar flipped to June. Buxton has homered six times in the last six games and is on pace to shatter his previous career-high of 19 bombs. On the year, he's slashing .236/.317/.594 with 17 home runs, 30 RBI, and one stolen base over 165 at-bats. Gilberto Celestino is starting in center field and batting seventh.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton had a nice day at the plate on Thursday as he homered twice during the club's 10-7 loss to the Yankees. He took Gerrit Cole deep in the first inning as a part of back-to-back-to-back homers, and then he victimized the right-hander again the following inning for a three-run shot. He finished the contest going 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs, and four RBI as he's now hitting a sharp .391 with four bombs so far in June. For the season, Buxton is still trying to build on his lowly .231 BA after an extensive slump in May, but his 15 HR, 32 runs, and 28 RBI through 42 games are still pulling their weight.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Twins continue to rest Buxton pretty regularly in order to keep the oft-injured outfielder healthy for the long haul. Buxton is hitting .192 (9-for-47) with one home run and 13 strikeouts in his last two weeks and is batting .216 on the season with a .295 on-base percentage, but he also has 12 home runs, 23 RBI and 27 runs scored. Fantasy managers would like more than just one stolen base as well, but at this point, they should just be happy that he's not on the injured list. The 28-year-old has looked better over the last week, so hopefully he's heating up as we approach the summer. Gilberto Celestino is in center field and is batting seventh against Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman on Sunday.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the Detroit Tigers. Buxton started the last two games, but the Twins will continue to give him regular days off in order to keep the oft-injured outfielder healthy. The 28-year-old is hitting just .205 (26-for-127) with a .287 on-base percentage, but he's a must-start when in the lineup because of his power (11 home runs) and speed. Buxton has also chipped in 21 RBI and 25 runs scored in 33 games played. Nick Gordon is in center field and is batting eighth on Monday against Tigers right-hander Beau Brieske. Gordon is a low-upside DFS play who is hitting .271/.300/.385 with a homer, six RBI and one stolen base on the year in 36 games.
