Byron Buxton (concussion) batting second for Twins Tuesday in Game 1
Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (concussion) will start on Tuesday afternoon versus right-hander Zack Greinke and the Houston Astros in Game 1 of the Wild Card Round.

He will start in center field over Jake Cave and bat second. Luis Arraez will bat leadoff and Max Kepler will hit third, followed by Nelson Cruz and Eddie Rosario.
