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