Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton suffered a leg injury and exited Friday’s game against the Boston Red Sox, per The Athletic’s Dan Hayes.
Byron Buxton hurt himself sliding into second base on a leadoff pop up double. He knew it right away, slapped the ground as he finished his slide. Walked off under own power. #MNTwins

After Buxton doubled in the top of the first, Nick Gordon came in as a pinch-runner. Gordon ended up scoring on a Luis Arraez single.
