The Minnesota Twins placed designated hitter Byron Buxton on the paternity list prior to Monday’s home contest against the Seattle Mariners.
Buxton is expected to miss the entire three-game series, according to published reports.
Buxton is batting just .195 with 17 homers and 40 RBIs in 81 games. He has a lackluster .284 on-base percentage and has struck out 106 times.
Buxton, 29, was an All-Star in 2022 when he hit a career-high 28 homers.
Minnesota recalled outfielder Trevor Larnach from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. Larnach, 26, is batting .211 with six homers and 31 RBIs in 47 games for the Twins this season.
