3 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday ahead of the contest with the Cincinnati Reds. In a devastating turn of events, Buxton was forced to exit Monday's game, just his third game back from a hip strain, after being hit by a pitch on his hand. Manager Rocco Baldelli noted that the speedy outfielder has a fractured left hand, saying that he fears it will keep him out for at least several weeks and possibly even a month or two. It's another tough break for Buxton, who has been electrifying when on the field- especially this season- though it's something he just hasn't been able to do in his career.--Tim Capurso
