Minnesota Twins OF Byron Buxton is not in the starting lineup Wednesday, July 27. OF Eddie Rosario is starting in center field and batting sixth against Atlanta Braves SP Mike Foltynewicz Wednesday.

Fantasy Tip: Rosario is a fantasy asset on the rise with a .344/.359/.557 slash line over 16 July games, and Buxton hasn't been able to gain any traction at the dish with just a .674 OPS this month. Rosario is likely worth an add in deep mixed leagues, whereas Buxton isn't worth owning outside of cavernous mixed and AL-only settings.

Minnesota Twins OF Byron Buxton is not in the starting lineup Thursday, July 21. OF Eddie Rosario is starting in center field and batting ninth against Boston Red Sox SP Steven Wright Thursday.

Fantasy Tip: Buxton cannot gain any traction at the dish and owns a .199/.246/.337 slash line through 182 plate appearances. It isn't out of the question to cut ties with the promising youngster. Rosario is heating up with a .348/.354/.609 line in July, and he could begin to see more consistent playing time if he continues to surge at the dish. Rosario is a potential low-priced flier in daily contests Thursday, too.

Minnesota Twins 1B Joe Mauer, 3B Miguel Sano and CB Byron Buxton are not in the starting lineup against Cleveland Indians SP Josh Tomlin Sunday, July 17. SS Eduardo Nunez will start at third base, while OF Robbie Grossman will serve as the designated hitter. 1B Kennys Vargas will start at first base and is batting third. OF Eddie Rosario will start in left field and is batting sixth, while OF Danny Santana will start in center field and is batting ninth.

Fantasy Tip: Vargas is hitting .400 with three home runs and four RBI since being recalled from the minor leagues and should be a decent option in daily fantasy leagues. Rosario has 12 hits in his last five games and should be used in starting lineups. Santana has at least one hit in five of his last seven games, but owners probably will be able to find better options.

Minnesota Twins OF Byron Buxton (knee) is starting in center field and batting ninth against Cleveland Indians SP Carlos Carrasco Friday, July 15.

Fantasy Tip: Buxton continues to disappoint and owns an underwhelming .236/.272/.396 slash line through 31 games since his latest recall from the minors. You may regret cutting ties, but at this pint, Buxton likely isn't worth rostering outside of deep mixed and AL-only leagues.

Minnesota Twins OF Byron Buxton (knee) could have played against the Texas Rangers Sunday, July 10, according to manager Paul Molitor, but Molitor said he didn't want to rush him back one game before the All-Star break.

Fantasy Tip: Buxton is hitting just .212 this year, but he showed some upside the last couple of weeks. He makes a decent stash candidate with the potential for a decent second half.

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Twins OF Byron Buxton (knee) is considered day-to-day after sustaining a right knee contusion during the first inning of the game against the Texas Rangers Friday, July 8. He suffered the injury after crashing into the outfield wall while attempting to pursue a triple off the bat of 2B Rougned Odor.

Fantasy Tip: Despite being carted off the field, Buxton could wind up playing again before the All-Star break. The 22-year-old is batting .212 with one home run and 12 RBI through 48 contests and should be avoided in DFS despite hitting safely in six consecutive games entering play Friday.
