Buxton will rejoin the Twins on Tuesday, Dustin Morse of Twins.com reports.
Buxton will return from Triple-A Rochester to assume the roster spot of Danny Santana, who was placed on the disabled list after departing Monday's game with a hamstring strain. In 17 games for Minnesota earlier in the season, the top prospect struggled at the plate, slashing just .156/.208/.289 before being sent back down to Rochester. Buxton, who hit .209 win 46 major league games in 2015, has straightened things out at Triple-A, hitting .333 with 14 RBI and 17 extra-base hits across 114 at-bats.
