Minnesota's Byron Buxton batting eighth against Giants

Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton is starting and batting eighth against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.

What It Means:

Buxton's power, patience, and contact still haven't appeared in the big leagues, but he will keep getting chances to get worked in. Over the last two weeks, Buxton is slashing .238/.273/.286 with 3 runs, 4 RBI, and 4 stolen bases in 45 plate appearances. Max Kepler is hitting the bench to make way for Buxton.

Our models project Buxton for 6.6 FanDuel points at a salary of $2,600 on Sunday.
