Buxton started in center field and went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Monday's loss to Baltimore.
It's only one game but the strikeouts are not a promising sign as he struggled to make contact last season (just 66 percent contact rate and a 44:6 K:BB ratio in 129 at-bats). Hopefully the Twins will be patient with their top prospect if he struggles early in the season.
