Buxton Rests to Stay Healthy | Minnesota Twins News

Byron Buxton’s getting another day off — not because he’s slumping, but because the Twins are being smart with his health. After a recent return from the injured list and a hip injection, they’re prioritizing long-term availability over short-term stats. With just 87 games played this year and only a few hits since coming back, resting him today against Atlanta makes sense. The team’s roster shuffle — sending down Tristan Gray to make room — now means guys like Josh Bell and Ryan Jeffers will need to step up. And with the Twins second in the AL Central, this cautious approach could be key to keeping Buxton ready for the final push.
