Buxton went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox.
Buxton walked in the third and stole second for his first stolen base of the year. He later singled in the sixth and came around to score the Twins' first run on a sacrifice fly. Despite being one of the fastest players in all of baseball, Buxton has not posted double-digit steals since 2019. Health has certainly played a factor, and while it would be a welcome sight for fantasy managers if steals became a part of his repertoire once again, that should not be expected. The 29-year-old sits at a slash line of .257/.327/.545 with seven homers, 17 RBI, 20 runs and a 11:36 BB:K over 113 plate appearances thus far.
