Byron Buxton left Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox in the second inning because of right knee soreness after an unsuccessful attempt to steal second base for the Minnesota Twins.

Buxton, who singled leading off the inning, didn't slide into second and was thrown out. Buxton walked off the field slowly and was replaced in the bottom half of the inning.

He was limited to 85 games as a designated hitter last season because of a right knee injury. Rocco Baldelli said Buxton would undergo imaging on the knee.

MLBPA May File Complaint Over Twins Comments

Feb 26, 2024 8:14 AM

The Major League Baseball Players Association is considering a formal complaint on the grounds that Minnesota Twins executive chair Joe Pohlad, nephew of owner Jim Pohlad, recently "violated a reservation of rights clause with the use of media in the collective bargaining agreement" during a local radio appearance, according to a report.

Last week, Pohlad addressed the Twins' free-agent plans during an interview with WCCO-AM Radio's Jason DeRusha: "We're not going to go out and spend $30 million on a player right now," he said. "The players that are out there right now that probably a bunch of fans are talking about, we are not in the market for those players."
