Buxton's All-Star Moment with Twins | MLB News

Byron Buxton is headed to his first All-Star Game as a starter, bringing teammate Joe Ryan along for the ride — both shining bright for a Twins team fighting hard despite injuries. Buxton’s breakout season, fueled by resilience and team grit, includes 25 homers and elite power metrics, while Ryan leads the league in starts. For Buxton, this moment is deeply personal — he’s overcome multiple injuries to become a five-tool star and leader, crediting his teammates for making baseball the most fun it’s ever been. The Twins, still in the hunt for a wild-card spot, pulled off a historic road win against the Yankees — their first in 12 years — proving their toughness. Buxton’s cautious approach to health has kept him off the IL all season, even as he recently exited a game with hip discomfort. And with a no-trade clause through 2028 and GM confirmation he’s never been on the trade block, Buxton is locked in as the Twins’ cornerstone for the foreseeable future.
