Twins' Byron Buxton: Out of Wednesday's lineup

Buxton is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Braves.

Analysis:

It's hard to understand why the Twins insist on giving Buxton a day or two off each week, especially when Robbie Grossman, Eddie Rosario and Danny Santana are the three players starting over him in the outfield. He has 14 strikeouts in his last 28 at-bats, so that obviously has something to do with it, but so far unpredictable playing time has not helped him improve on his contact issues.
