Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton exited Wednesday’s game against the Chicago White Sox due to right knee soreness following his failed attempt to steal second base during the second inning of action.
Buxton was limited to 85 games as a designated hitter last season because of a right knee injury and, following the victor over the White Sox, Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Buxton would undergo imaging on the knee.
“He was his normal self this morning,” Baldelli said, according to the Associated Press. “So it was something that came up during the game, I would say.”
Buxton is batting .250 with one homer and 11 RBI in 28 games this season for Minnesota.
