"He's doing well with the sim games in Florida," Molitor said. "I don't want to say he's 100 percent, but he's doing everything. We're going to try to get him out of there in a couple days."
Buxton, 21, hit .189/.231/.270 with a triple, a double and a stolen base in 11 games with the Twins before being placed on the 15-day disabled list. He initially injured his thumb on a slide on June 23, but played on June 24 before hitting the DL on June 26.
It'll mark the first time Buxton will see action at Triple-A, as he was promoted straight from Double-A Chattanooga.
