Fantasy Impact:
Buxton crashed into the center field wall in the second inning to rob Todd Frazier of an extra-base hit. He then tried to hit in the third, but was seen grimacing on the base-paths. The 23-year-old will now have all winter to recover and get healthy. In 140 games this season Buxton hit 16 homers and stole 29 bases. He's (once again) going to be a major breakout candidate in drafts next March.
