Byron Buxton is still recovering from a fractured big toe on his foot, but even a crack in one of his bones can’t slow him down or stop him from slamming into the wall in center field.
In his third game back from nearly a month on the disabled list, Buxton dropped a soft line drive to left-center and turned it into a stand-up double. This is a single for most guys, but Buxton is otherworldly fast.

Then, in the fourth inning, he took an extra-base hit away from Ian Kinsler with a spectacular catch while slamming into the center-field wall.
Fortunately, Buxton bounced right up and stayed in the game.
Also, before you go – check out Torii Hunter’s interview with Buxton and his former teammate in L.A., Mike Trout. Fox Sports North aired it during its pregame show and it’s definitely worth a baseball fan’s time.
