Buxton (hip) will start in center field and bat second against the Yankees on Saturday.
Buxton missed each of the Twins' prior four games due to a right hip impingement, but the veteran outfielder has been given the green light to return to action Saturday. He finished the month of June with a .287/.330/.596 slash line with three steals, eight home runs and 16 RBI across 100 plate appearances.
