Byron Buxton played a key role in the Twins' 8-3 victory over the Marlins, delivering a solid performance as the designated hitter.

Fantasy Impact

Buxton went 2-for-4 with a home run, one run scored, and one RBI. This outing is a bright spot in what has been a fairly consistent season for Buxton, who now boasts a .279 batting average with 18 homers and 55 RBI through 100 games. His power numbers are robust, and his wOBA of .365 indicates he's creating runs at a well-above-average clip, which is always a boon for fantasy managers. While his strikeout rate remains high, his impact in power and run production categories should keep him relevant in most fantasy formats.

Byron Buxton went 2-for-6 with two runs scored and a stolen base in the Twins' 4-2 win over the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not driving in any runs or adding extra-base hits, Buxton's ability to get on base and create scoring opportunities was pivotal in the narrow victory. His performance this season has been solid, maintaining a .274 batting average with notable power and speed contributions. The stolen base in this game highlights his multi-category value, although his high strikeout rate continues to be a concern for fantasy managers. Moving forward, Buxton's blend of power and speed keeps him relevant in all fantasy formats, but consistency at the plate will be key to maximizing his impact.
