Buxton set to take BP this week
By Jace Frederick and Mike Berardino
The Twins plan to have Byron Buxton start with tee work and flip drills in the next couple of days,
manager Paul Molitor said on Saturday.
That's the first step in what Molitor called "a preliminary foundation for what's going to happen" with
Buxton's recovery process.
Buxton has been out since June 25 with a sprained left thumb.
Molitor said the Twins hope Buxton will be able to hit some batting practice by Thursday or Friday.
