Buxton (elbow) will start in center field and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Astros.
Buxton was hit in the left elbow by a pitch in the top of the sixth inning of Saturday's loss, but he initially stayed in the game before exiting in the bottom of the seventh. Fortunately for the center fielder, he escaped with little more than a bruise on his elbow, and he's feeling well enough a day later to start. Buxton has gotten off to an excellent start to June, slashing .306/.435/.472 with one home run, three stolen bases, 11 RBI, three runs and an 8:7 BB:K over 11 games.
