Byron Buxton reportedly will not miss significant time after injuring his knee in the Twins’ game against the Red Sox on Friday. The centerfielder did not have any structural damage in his right knee and will most likely require him to be off for roughly one week, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.
Buxton hit a pop fly double to left field that fell between two Boston players. After making the hit, he slid into second base and immediately felt something wrong. Once Buxton crossed the base, he was clearly experiencing pain in his right knee.
Buxton hit the ground with his hand before standing to his feet and walking off the field under his own power. Injuries have played a big factor in Buxton’s career.
