Twins' Byron Buxton: Racks up five RBI in victory
Buxton went 2-for-5 with a double, a run, five RBI and a stolen base in a 10-4 win against the Athletics on Monday.
Buxton plated two runs with a double in the second inning, added a two-run single in the sixth and finished his big day with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. The five RBI marked a season high for the veteran outfielder, who has now driven in at least one run in each of his three games since returning from a stay on the 7-day injured list May 30. Buxton's steal Monday was his 10th of the campaign, making him the 12th big-leaguer to reach 10 homers and 10 thefts so far this season.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Resting Sunday
Buxton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
After returning from the 7-day injured list Friday, Buxton started in center field in both of the first two games of the series and exhibited no hangover effect from his recent concussion, as he went 4-for-12 with three RBI, three runs and a stolen base between those contests. He'll take a seat Sunday in what looks to be little more than a pre-planned recovery day coming off the concussion. Harrison Bader will cover center field in Buxton's stead.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Swipes bag Friday
Buxton went 2-for-6 with two RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 12-6 extra-inning win over the Mariners.
Buxton returned from a stint on the 7-day concussion injured list, and he was able to put together a multi-hit effort for the first time since May 9 versus the Giants. The outfielder had gone 2-for-17 with nine strikeouts prior to his absence. Overall, he's had a productive start to 2025, batting .264 with an .828 OPS, 10 home runs, nine steals, 29 RBI, 35 runs scored, five doubles and three triples across 42 contests. He should resume his role as the Twins' primary center fielder.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Activated Friday, as expected
The Twins reinstated Buxton (concussion) from the 7-day injured list, and he is starting in center field and batting in the leadoff spot against the Mariners on Friday.
The 31-year-old missed two weeks after sustaining a concussion on a collision with Carlos Correa on May 15, but he's ready to rejoin the active roster after getting in some full workouts this week. Buxton was raking in May prior to the concussion with four homers and a .313/.393/.625 slash line in 13 games.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Works out before game
Buxton (concussion) participated in outfield drills and ran the bases before Monday's game in Tampa, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. However, he was not activated from the 7-day injured list.
The 31-year-old has been in the concussion protocol since his collision with Carlos Correa on May 15. His travel with the team for a 10-game road trip suggests he could be activated from the 7-day IL imminently.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Traveling for road trip
Buxton remains in the concussion protocol but will travel with the Twins for their 10-game road trip that begins Monday in Kansas City, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
The 31-year-old has been in the concussion protocol since his collision with Carlos Correa on May 15, but the outfielder has been ramping up his baseball activities over the past few days. Buxton still needs to officially clear the protocol before being reinstated from the 7-day IL, but the fact he'll be traveling with the team could indicate his activation is on the horizon.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Ramping up activity
Buxton (concussion) has begun ramping up his baseball activities and is back to running on solid ground rather than in a pool or on a treadmill, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Buxton and teammate Carlos Correa both landed on the 7-day concussion IL after colliding during a game last week, and while Correa was reinstated from the injured list Friday, Buxton's recovery hasn't been as quick. He remains without a return timeline but appears to be trending in the right direction.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Still experiencing symptoms
Twins athletic trainer Nick Paparesta said Wednesday that Buxton is considered further behind in his recovery than Carlos Correa as both players recover from concussions, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Buxton and Correa were placed on the 7-day injured list after the two were involved in an on-field collision in a May 15 game. The Twins haven't offered up a timeline for either player's return from the IL, but Correa is apparently trending toward being activated sooner than Buxton.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Placed on concussion IL
The Twins placed Buxton on the 7-day concussion injured list Saturday.
It had previously been reported that Buxton cleared concussion protocol after bumping heads with Carlos Correa (concussion) on Thursday, but that has turned out not to be the case. Buxton's move is retroactive to Friday, so he'll be required to miss only six more days before being eligible for activation, and the Twins will make a corresponding move to fill his roster spot Sunday.
