Byron Buxton working on figuring things out after return from IL
Buxton is hitting .107 in eight games since returning from the injured list, and the Twins say his timing is still coming back.
- On Friday night, Twins center fielder Byron Buxton made a spectacular diving catch on a fly ball hit by Freddy Fermin, showcasing his speed and mobility while recovering from a hip injury.
- Buxton returned from the injured list in Aug for the Field of Dreams game without a rehab assignment and is still not playing at 100% capacity, managing good and bad days physically.
- Offensive production has not been seamless; entering Sunday, Buxton was hitting.107 over eight games since returning with one extra-base hit and one RBI, though the Twins maintain faith in the center fielder.
- Manager Derek Shelton noted Buxton looks "a little bit in between" timing-wise, describing the current offensive struggle as "just a timing issue there" rather than a physical concern.
- Buxton lets the game dictate his effort level, saying, "If I hit one at 110 , I ain't about to run 95 down the line," balancing staying healthy with pushing when necessary.
