ARLINGTON, Texas -- New Twins center fielder Byron Buxton made sure he got to Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport in plenty of time to make his flight Sunday morning.

Already in town with the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts, Buxton arrived at 6:15 a.m. for a 9:13 a.m. departure to Dallas.

"I just stayed there and tried to relax myself," Buxton said. "Just enjoy the moment while I got the chance."

Buxton, 21, received a surprise call to the majors on Saturday in the wake of a forearm injury that sent Aaron Hicks to the 15-day disabled list.
