The Twins have optioned Buxton to Triple-A, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
After 17 games, the Twins have decided to give Buxton time at Triple-A Rochester to try and straighten things out at the plate. With a .156/.208/.289 line, two RBI and two steals this season, the struggles he experienced upon arriving in Minnesota last season have carried over into 2016. It's reasonable to think that he'll spend a few weeks in the minors before he's on the radar for a return to the big club.
