Twins' Byron Buxton: Stays hot with three-homer, five-RBI day

Buxton went 4-for-5 with three home runs, five RBI and a stolen base during Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.

Buxton will be reluctant to see the calendar turn to September, as the dynamic 23-year-old has been hitting at a torrid pace during the month of August. Following his first career multi-homer game, he is now slashing .304/.340/.543 with five home runs, 16 RBI and seven stolen bases this month. It appears that Buxton may finally be materializing into the well-rounded star that many baseball pundits believed he'd eventually become. There have been some growing pains with the speedy center fielder, but he should be deployed with confidence in all fantasy formats moving forward.
