Happy Opening Day! FINALLY! Major League Baseball has navigated the COVID-19 waters successfully, to the point where a season can be started. Will it finish? That's a question that will be answered over the next two months, as teams embark on a truncated 60-game schedule.
To celebrate the beginning of the season, we are answering some questions about your favorite team as it looks to repeat at AL Central champions. Here's the Q and A.....
From @GriffRozek37
Buxton still day to day or more serious?
LEN3: We thought center fielder Byron Buxton traveled to Chicago on Thursday, but he instead worked out at CHS Field in St. Paul. So that suggests one of two things. One, he's likely traveling on Friday to join the club. So it's doubtful they would play him in a game the same day. Two, they decided there's no reason to rush him and will reevaluate him when they return to the Twin Cities after Sunday's games. Either way, the fact that he's working out is a positive sign, because that injury has knocked athletes in other sports out longer than a couple of weeks,

How is Miguel Sano faring so far? How close to 100% will he be on Friday? Thank you.
LEN3: He's looked rusty and has admitted as much. I think he's going to get off to a little bit of a slow start. Then again, I think hitters across the league are going to need some at-bats to get their timing down because they've been playing glorified live batting practice sessions with their own pitchers. But we'll see. Sano has looked pretty good defensively, though. He made a couple nice plays at first in the Cubs game, including picking a Josh Donaldson throw out of the dirt.
