Twins Byron Buxton joins teammate Carlos Corea on 7-day concussion injured list
Milwaukee (AP) -byron Buxton, Minnesota Twins Center field worker, joined the short-stop Carlos Correa on the 7-day hub that was injured after the teammates collided with a shallow flying ball in a match on Thursday afternoon against the Baltimore Orioles. Buxton was posted on the injured list before the twins’ Saturday night match on Milwaukee. Correa was added to the injured list a day earlier. “There is a reason why this is the kind of injury we have these kinds of protocols – many, many steps and approval you have to go through,” the twin manager Rocco Baldelli said before Saturday’s match was injured before Buxton’s move to the concussion. ‘Because there is no easy way to diagnose and treat and monitor. You must be considerate. ‘ In the third innings of the twins’ 4-0 victory on Thursday, Correa moved back to the outfield grass for the ball, while Buxton rushed in the last second and asked it on the last second before hitting their heads. Bank coach Jayce Tingler, who completed Baldelli due to a disease, indicated after the match that the sound of the crowd had hampered their communications during the play. Buxton is a big part of his career limited by injuries – his 102 games played last year represented his highest total since 2017 – but he appeared in 41 of Minnesota’s first 44 games before this collision. The 31-year-old bat .261 with a .312 base percentage, 10 homers, 27 RBIs and eight steals. The 30-year-old Correa missed just three games this season before the collision-all scheduled rest days after being limited to 86 games last season due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Correa, a three-time All-Star, hits this season with a .236 with a .274 base percentage, two homers and 13 RBIs. For a second straight game, Dashawn Keirsey jr. At Buxton’s place on Center Field and Brooks Lee filled in short stop for Correa. Utilityman Willi Castro was also out of the starting line-up on Saturday after turning a ball off his right knee in a 3-0 victory on Milwaukee, which was the twin’s 12th consecutive victory. ___
