FILE - In this Feb. 21, 2017, file photo, Minnesota Twins' Byron Buxton runs on the field during a spring training baseball workout in Fort Myers, Fla. Buxton's first major league stints weren't so smooth, but the Twins have full faith in their former No. 2 overall draft pick. Despite going 0 for 5 with three strikeouts in the season opener Monday, April 3, in the No. 3 spot in the lineup, Buxton made two diving catches of sinking line drives in center field.
