BYRON BUXTON NEWS

Exits with apparent injury Buxton was removed from Thursday's game against the Rangers with an apparent injury, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Buxton appeared to pull up while running out a potential infield single in the bottom of the ninth inning, and Jake Cave replaced him in center field to begin the 10th frame. The nature and severity of Buxton's injury aren't yet known, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to the lineup for Friday's series opener against Detroit.

Launches two-run shot Buxton went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers.

Impact Buxton was responsible for two of the team's three runs when he socked his ninth homer of the season -- it came on his first at-bat and against Kyle Gibson, who would end up pitching eight strong innings. The center fielder has been nothing short of stellar to begin the season and is making an early MVP case with strong numbers across the board -- he has nine homers, 17 RBI, 18 runs scored and four stolen bases while hitting .386 with an impressive 1.246 OPS.

Steals base in win Buxton went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 9-1 win over the Royals.

Impact Buxton knocked a single in his first at-bat and promptly stole second for his third stolen base of the year. The 27-year-old also made a couple of highlight-reel catches in center field, robbing Andrew Benintendi of two hits and robbing the Royals of putting some more runs on the board. Buxton is making an early MVP case after the first month. He's slashing .426/.466/.897 with eight home runs, 14 RBI and 15 runs scored. He's also one of the faster players in the league, so more steals should come and if he can stay healthy, Buxton could have the chance to be one of the top-performing fantasy players this season.
