Stay healthy, Buxton... Byron Buxton (OF, MIN) has been relatively healthy in 2025, inching toward one of his highest plate appearance totals. He has 23 home runs, 17 stolen bases, and a .282 BA in 364 PA. Buxton could be pushing toward a career-best season in his 11th season. Have any skills changed? Or is health his main hurdle?
