The hand contusion that kept Minnesota Twins centerfielder Byron Buxton out of the lineup on Saturday has resolved enough for the MVP hopeful to return to action Sunday. Ryan Bass tweeted that Buxton is batting leadoff against the Tampa Bay Rays as the Twins look for the series win.
Byron Buxton is back in the lineup for the #Twins, hitting leadoff. He was a late scratch last night. Kyle Garlick, who hit two homers last night, is hitting third.

Injuries have limited Buxton to just 13 games this season but haven’t hampered his productivity.
