It is no secret that Buxton has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-minnesota-another-injury-scare-byron-buxton" rel="noopener">dealt with injury trouble</a> throughout the course of his career. The Minnesota Twins have been hesitant to play him in the outfield this season as a result, with Buxton taking his at-bats as a DH.

He’s started 26 games this year, 26 as a DH,” Reynolds continued. “Don’t give me all that, ‘oh, he’s injury prone.'”</p><p>The MLB Network segment then showed a video of Byron Buxton taking a nasty collision in the outfield back in 2014.

Finally, Reynolds compared Buxton to Ken Griffey Jr from an injury standpoint, stating that Griffey Jr. returned to the outfield despite breaking his wrist.</p><p>“I’m telling you right now, Byron Buxton is a Platinum Glove Award winner. Not gold, platinum! Let this kid go out and do what he does! And if you don’t like him in center, then move him to a corner. Do something, but we can’t sit here and have him DH’ing every game because we’re afraid he might get hurt again. You gave him $100 million dollars! You gotta take the bubble wrap off him.”</p><p>Byron <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-carlos-correa-true-impact-byron-buxton-return" rel="noopener">Buxton is a star</a> defender, but the Twins are hesitant for good reason. Perhaps moving him to a corner outfield spot would be a good solution, ultimately lessening the risk of injury while not keeping Buxton tied to a DH role.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Buxton laid flat on his stomach for a few seconds while receiving medical attention but was able to walk off on his own power.</p><p>With the play occurring in the bottom of the seventh inning and Buxton in the lineup as a designated hitter, he did not appear again in the game following the collision. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said postgame that Buxton would not have hit again if his spot in the lineup came up again. He added that Buxton felt sore and will be reevaluated tomorrow.</p><p>The two scares come on the backs of a plethora of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-minnesota-calls-up-edouard-julien-joey-gallo-injury" rel="noopener">injuries for the Twins.</a> Joey Gallo, Jorge Polanco and Max Kepler, presumed starters when healthy, are all currently on the injured list. Carlos Correa has also missed the last four games due to back tightness, adding to the Twins’ woes.</p><p>Buxton is one of the most talented players in Major League Baseball but has been hampered by injury throughout his career. The second overall pick in the 2012 draft by the Twins has played just 596 games since making his debut in June 2015. He’s played in over 100 games just once, in 2017.</p><p>The Twins won Wednesday’s game to improve to 8-4 on the young season, but at what cost? Losing more players, especially of the caliber of Byron Buxton, will not bode well for the Twins and their postseason aspirations.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On Friday, Correa spoke about these reports and more <a href="https://theathletic.com/4089872/2023/01/13/carlos-correa-twins-interview/" rel="noopener">in a Q&amp;A</a> with The Athletic.</p><p>Correa confirmed Buxton reached out to him during the offseason. However, those conversations did not go as one may have initially thought.</p><p>“The one thing I appreciated more about Buxton is that he never called me to try to get me to sign with the Twins,” Correa revealed to The Athletic. “Never did he say, ‘Bro, I want you to be in Minnesota. Please sign with us. Please consider us.’ Never. He was always very kind and very professional.”</p><p>Instead, Buxton inquired about how Correa was doing. The Twins outfielder also checked in on the Correa family as they were expecting their second child. This made a huge impact on the two-time All-Star shortstop.</p><p>“The last thing you want in free agency is for a lot of people to call you, saying sign here, sign there, everybody throwing a pitch at you,” Correa explained. “What you want to do is sit down with your family, go through the process as a family and make a decision.”</p><p>The respect Buxton showed obviously went a long way, and now the two will team up for 2023 and beyond. Buxton, Correa, and the Twins look to win the American League Central Division after finishing third in 2022.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
