Byron Buxton sitting for Minnesota on Tuesday night
Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton is not starting versus the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.

Buxton is averaging 5.1 FanDuel points in 27 games this season. numberFire's models project him to hit .233 with 6 homers, 10 steals, 29 runs scored, and 24 RBI over the rest of the year.
