Byron Buxton Makes His Feelings Clear on Twins Future originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Despite persistent trade rumors this summer, Byron Buxton has firmly stated his allegiance to the Minnesota Twins.

Injuries to Pablo López, Bailey Ober and David Festa, plus the trade of Paddack on Monday, have left the starting rotation in flux. With Paddack gone — he has been scheduled to start on Tuesday — the Twins turned to rookie Pierson Ohl, who was making his major league debut.

The Minnesota Twins placed All-Star outfielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list Tuesday as he continues to deal with left ribcage inflammation. The move came two days after Twins manager Rocco Baldelli told reporters Buxton wouldn't require an IL stint.
