June 15, 2025 12:42 PM : Buxton (elbow) was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Analysis: The 31-year-old exited Saturday's contest after being hit by a pitch in the left elbow, and he won't start Sunday after initially being penciled in atop the lineup. The Twins have a scheduled day off Monday, so Buxton will have two straight days to recover before Tuesday's series opener in Cincinnati.
