Byron Buxton, in the midst of an MVP caliber season, has also been having the healthiest year of his career. While we don't know a lot of information at this time, the Twins.TV broadcast reported that Buxton exited Saturday's game in the top of the seventh inning with soreness in his left side.

Buxton sat out Sunday's 7-2 loss to Washington after he first experienced side irritation Saturday. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli called the MRI results "good news" and said Buxton can be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener against the Red Sox.

The Minnesota Twins will likely be sellers before the MLB trade deadline, but it could be challenging to deal Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa.

Buxton did more than something good. He became the first player to hit for the cycle at Target Field since the ballpark opened in 2010, helping ignite the Twins to a 12-4 win over the Pirates. It was the 12th cycle in Twins history and the first since Jorge Polanco had one in 2019.
