Buxton went 1-for-3 in Monday's spring training win over Baltimore. He's 2-for-10 in four games this spring.
Buxton is the leading candidate to start in center field and will likely win the job unless he really struggles this spring. If Buxton begins the season in the minors, the Twins could begin the season with Danny Santana as a stopgap or move Eddie Rosario to center field. However, so far all the talk from management is of Buxton winning the role.
