Buxton went 1-for-3 in Thursday's loss to the White Sox and is hitting just .193. However, GM Terry Ryan says he's content leaving Buxton in the lineup despite his struggles at the plate due to his strong glove. "[People] probably equate his progress with the bat only. But his defense, that helps us here," Ryan told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Buxton continues to struggle to make contact as he has 33 strikeouts in 86 at-bats in June and just four walks. However, it sounds like the Twins are going to give him extended time in the majors to improve.
