Fantasy Impact:

Buxton injured his right shoulder in the third inning after crashing into the outfield wall while making a running catch. He was able to stay in the game but was later pulled as a precaution when his spot came up in the lineup, as it is the same shoulder he injured on May 23 while sliding into second base against the Boston Red Sox. He can be considered day-to-day for now, with an update expected before the Minnesota Twins game on Saturday.
