Buxton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to Toronto on Saturday.

Buxton went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Twins.

Scouting Report

Generates tremendous bat speed, so he has plenty of untapped power potential. Super fast, he can cover the ground in center field and be a real threat on the basepaths. The jury is out on his long-range home-run upside. He'll need to bulk up significantly in order to maximize his potential as a run producer. Injuries are a problem here.

Long Range Potential: Athletic, toolsy outfielder with upside, when healthy.
