Multiple Twins beat writers reported on Thursday night that Buxton could be back in the lineup as soon as Friday.
Byron Buxton's back injury that has held him out of the lineup a few days is not considered serious. He's expected back as early as tomorow.

The move could be just precautionary but Buxton was starting to heat up before being removed from a game on May 14th because of back spasms.
He was slashing .365/.421/.596 with three home runs, three doubles and eight RBI in 13 games this month.
