Buxton is not in Sunday's lineup against the Orioles. Buxton also sat out Saturday after the Twins' playoff hopes were dashed. He played in more games (105) this season than he has since he played a career-high 140 games in 2017. Buxton has a no-trade clause, so he'll be back to patrol center field in 2025.

Buxton isn't in Minnesota's lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles. Buxton has slashed .300/.340/.500 across 53 plate appearances since returning from the injured list Sept. 12, but he'll take a seat Saturday with the Twins now officially eliminated from playoff contention. His absence will allow Austin Martin to pick up a start in center field and bat second.

Buxton went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday in an 8-3 victory versus the Marlins. Buxton tied the score 3-3 in the fourth inning with a massive 450-foot blast. The outfielder notched his third multi-hit effort over a five-game hitting streak during which he's batting .381 (8-for-21). However, Wednesday's long ball accounted for just the second RBI by Buxton over that span.

Buxton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians. The Twins are easing Buxton back in the mix after he returned from the injured list last Thursday. He'll head to the bench for the second time in six games since being activated, but Buxton has looked healthy when he's been included in the lineup. Buxton has recorded exactly one hit in each of his last four starts while plating four runs and scoring three times.

Buxton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds. The 30-year-old started the past two games after missing the past month due to a hip injury, and he'll receive Sunday off after going 2-for-6 with a solo homer, an additional RBI and an additional run scored. Willi Castro is starting in center field Sunday with Buxton on the bench.
