What they're saying

"
The Minnesota Twins reinstated All-Star center fielder Byron Buxton from the 10-day injured list before their game at the Field of Dreams on Thursday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Buxton missed the past 14 games with a right hip impingement, his second stint this season on the injured list. Major League Baseball allowed a 27th player for the special site game, so the Twins didn't have to make a corresponding roster move to make room for Buxton.
