He walked away on his own. “Obviously he was feeling real discomfort,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. “He plays a lot. He is a tough guy and he always wants to be on the field. I think in this case, he knew it was something he wasn’t going to be able to play with today.” he’s been among the best players in the game in recent years when he was healthy, and unfortunately for the Twins, that has rarely been the case. He hit .306 with 19 home runs in 61 games in 2021, but was limited by a broken hand and right hip strain. Buxton signed a seven-year, $100 million deal to remain a long-term Twin through the winter.
