Twins’ Byron Buxton Faces Uncertainty After Mysterious Hand Injury—Will He Make the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby?
Byron Buxton’s unexpected exit from Wednesday’s clash with the Cubs threw a wrench into the Minnesota Twins’ gearing up for next week’s All-Star extravaganza. Getting smacked right on the hand by a fierce pitch, Buxton’s path to the Home Run Derby and All-Star Game has suddenly been shrouded in uncertainty—talk about a tense situation with just days to go.
Thankfully, early X-rays offered a sigh of relief, revealing no fractures, with the team chalking it up to a bruised left hand.
