Buxton not in the lineup today. 2nd day in a row. Injured, hot water, moving up, or really sleepy & needs a couple of days off? Guessing not the last.

@LaVelleNeal: Byron Buxton to miss a few days with a sore right thumb.

Yeah, it was in the Minor League Report comments earlier this morning. Jake didn't sound too concerned.

I'm going to CR June 8 & 9. I sure hope Buxton is back by then!

Bi-lateral thumb weakness.

Isn't this is the kind of thing that can be a lingering injury? This may have been bothering him for a while, if so, his numbers may be even crazier than they look. Rest him and get him better.
