Buxton Back, Twins Push for Playoff Push | Minnesota Twins News

Byron Buxton’s return to the Minnesota Twins lineup is a major boost as he comes off the injured list after missing the All-Star Game with a hip strain. Hitting .271 with 25 homers and 45 RBIs in 75 games, Buxton brings elite defense and power to the middle of the order. His comeback creates a roster shuffle, sending infielder Tristan Gray down to Triple-A, and positions the Twins to make a postseason push. Currently third in the AL Central at 49-51, the team still has a shot at both the division title and a Wild Card spot — with Buxton healthy, their playoff hopes just got a lot brighter.
