Twins’ Byron Buxton Faces Uncertainty After Mysterious Hand Injury—Will He Make the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby?
Just five days out from the Derby in Atlanta and a day shy of his spot as a reserve in his second All-Star showdown, every inning counts for his return. That blistering 98 mph fastball from Cubs’ Cade Horton caught him early in the first, halting his momentum—though he impressively stayed in long enough to swipe a perfect stolen base before bowing out. The Twins saw Brooks Lee step in the next inning, but the question remains: will Buxton bounce back in time to thrill the fans on the big stage?
With the Twins battling fiercely in the standings, every player’s health is crucial, and Buxton’s 2025 campaign has been nothing short of remarkable. At 31, he’s shaking off the injury bugs that have haunted his past, currently knocking out power, speed and clutch hits at a pace that could set career highs. The team is undoubtedly hoping his resilience shines through once again.
