Buxton will be leading off and DH'ing against the Royals this afternoon.

Great news! Our spark plug is back! Go Twins

That will help.

I hope it doesn’t hurt his extrapolated 162 game WAR!

Oh good lord.  What's wrong with his spinal column now?

Oh good Lord … is that a jinx? You should know better. Shame on you!

I for one kind of hate this, pending more information on his recovery.  I would have preferred he get plenty of rest to ensure he's 100% recovered.  Does anyone remember last year when Buxton had knee tendinitis, but the Twins brought him back after only a couple days off, and he promptly hurt himself again and missed two months?  Maybe those things were unrelated, but it sure seems to me that when you play an injured player, they're much more likely to compound that injury.

I think he meant that Buck is going to help co-write a medical advice piece for an Orthopedic Surgeon in the newspaper. ?‍♂️

He’ll just be like Tobey Maguire’s Spiderman.

Good news! We need something. Now if only Polanco and/or Correa could get hot we can have 3-4 real bats in the lineup.
