Buxton (shoulder) is back in Minnesota's lineup Tuesday, leading off and starting in center field, reports Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com.
After exiting Friday's game against Kansas City with a right shoulder contusion following a collision with the outfield wall, Buxton sat out the final two games of the weekend series. The 32-year-old has led the Twins' offense this season, slashing .257/.319/.549 with 18 home runs in 226 plate appearances.
