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.
What It Means:
Buxton was held out of the last two games of the regular season after displaying mild concussion symptoms following a hit-by-pitch to the head on Friday. 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.
numberFire's models expect Buxton to score 15.0 FanDuel points on Tuesday with a salary of $3,000. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Twins currently have an implied total of 4.2 runs.
