6 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hand) was able to take batting practice off a tee and in the cage on Monday and will take live batting practice on Tuesday. He has been out since July 12 with a left hand injury. On the season, he is hitting just .156 with four RBI and five stolen bases. Buxton should be able to return in the next week or so. He's coming off of a 16 home run and 29 stolen base season, so the potential is clearly there. Whether he can put it all together and salvage his 2018 season is yet to be seen. You could do much worse than Buxton if you need outfield help upon his return.--Dan Fappiano
