The Twins diagnosed Buxton with a sore right knee following his departure in the third inning of Sunday's game against the White Sox, LaVelle Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Buxton is being labeled as day-to-day, and although his injury appears minor, it may be more of a setback for the outfielder than most players. He had already hurt the same knee twice in one week after banging into the outfield wall prior to the All-Star break, so the fact that the right knee is bothering him again just over two weeks later is somewhat discouraging. The Twins may be inclined to give Buxton a few days off to rest the injury, in which case Robbie Grossman, Danny Santana or Eddie Rosario, who replaced Buxton on Sunday, could see more action in center field.
