Twins’ Buxton Could Play Outfield ‘On Occasion’ After Returning from Injured List

MLB Seattle

The Minnesota Twins have some exciting news for their fans: Twins’ outfielder Byron Buxton is set to return from the injured list after missing the last month due to a shoulder injury. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli has said that Buxton could play the outfield “on occasion” when he returns.

Buxton, who is one of the Twins’ most talented players, was placed on the 10-day injured list in late April due to a shoulder injury. He had been dealing with the injury since spring training and it was determined that he needed some extra time to heal.

The Twins have been without Buxton for the last month, but the team is now hopeful that he will be able to return to the field soon. Baldelli has said that when Buxton returns, he will likely be used as an outfielder on occasion. This means that Buxton will be able to contribute to the team in some capacity, even if it’s not as an everyday player.

Buxton’s return will be a welcome sight for Twins fans, who have been waiting for him to get back on the field. His presence in the outfield will help bolster the team’s defense and give them another weapon in their lineup.

It’s unclear when Buxton will be ready to return to action, but it’s exciting news for Twins fans that he could be back soon. His return could give the team a much-needed boost as they look to make a run at the playoffs this season.
