3 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Thursday, serving as the designated hitter and hitting leadoff against Kansas City Royals right-hander Zack Greinke. Buxton left last Friday's game with a knee injury, but he didn't suffer any structural damage and avoided a trip to the injured list. Injuries have consistently derailed the 28-year-old's career, but thankfully for fantasy managers, they'll be able to get the power-speed threat back into their starting lineups on Thursday. Buxton is hitting .250 (6-for-24) with three home runs, four RBI, five runs scored and a steal in his first seven games of the season. He's a must-start whenever he's in the lineup.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
