Byron Buxton was the lone Twins player named to the American League All-Star team today. The game will be played in his home state of Georgia. Buxton: "To do it back home with this Twins uniform on, it's a blessing."
Jonah Bride was designated for assignment after the game, which paves way for Royce Lewis to return in Miami.
Rocco Baldelli said they're treating Byron Buxton's elbow as day-to-day and they are not worried long term. Buxton: "I got hit. I can tell. I don't feel too good but I'll be alright."
Royce Lewis will be placed on the injured list with a left hamstring strain. Sounds like it's on the milder side.
Byron Buxton left today's game with a left elbow contusion, per Twins.
