5/08/24 Racking Up Twins. Right when everyone counted them out, the Minnesota Twins embarked on a 12-game winning streak, and are now 20-15 with a handle on 2nd place and a whole new set of eyes upon them. If anything, the major development is losing Byron Buxton, which, like Royce Lewis, just keeps happening no matter how they try to prevent it. This year doesn't even have an OMG start from Sonny Gray, Joe Ryan and Pablo Lopez, which is what 2023 started with. Lopez has a 4.30 ERA, Ryan's 1-2.

4/29/24 Buxton sparks rally in ninth as Twins top White Sox, win eighth straight. CHICAGO – Byron Buxton whipped a first-pitch slider down the left-field line in the ninth inning and thought about trying to stretch his double into a triple when he saw a wild incoming relay throw. It was only the Twins' third hit Monday, so there was a natural urge to try to create more offense. Instead, with no outs, Buxton trusted Max Kepler to step up. Kepler lined a two-strike single ...

4/10/24 Twins beat Dodgers 3-2 as Edouard Julien belts two home runs. The Twins scored only three runs in their series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, but they took down two notable streaks in the process. Byron Buxton gave the offense their first hit with a runner in scoring position in a week, mercifully ending a drought that spanned 33 at-bats with his RBI single to left field in the third inning. The second streak ended after Edouard Julien hit two homers, including the first of his career against a lefthanded pitcher, and Carlos Correa provided some defensive wizardry to end the Twins' four-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory at Target Field.

4/09/24 Watch: Buxton’s amazing catch reminds Twins what they missed. Byron Buxton did a Byron Buxton thing in center field Monday night, one of those plays that you can't imagine any other center fielder making. With one out in the sixth inning and the Dodgers threatening to break a 2-2 tie, Teoscar Hernández hit a line drive that looked to be headed to the wall in right-center field. This is how it looked — amd how it ended up. The Twins escaped the inning ...

3/29/24 Twins star Byron Buxton relishes return to outfield. When Byron Buxton trotted out to center field for the first time in a major-league game on Thursday, it was for the first time in nearly 600 days. Understandably, he was amped up and excited, leading to him nearly overthrowing right field Max Kepler on some warm-up tosses. “It's been a while since I've been throwing with Kep in right field,” Buxton said. Getting Buxton back into the outfield was an accomplishment not just for him, but for everybody who aided him along the way, from his family to the team's training staff and everyone in between.
