MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Twins have placed center fielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list because of inflammation in his troublesome right knee, with guarded optimism his absence can be kept to the minimum. Buxton exited early from the last game after experiencing soreness in the knee that he's had two surgeries on and limited him to a designated hitter role last season. The discomfort caused him to pull up short while trying to steal second base. An MRI test on his knee revealed no structural damage.
