Buxton and Correa collided in Game 11 of what eventually became a 13-game winning streak. The Twins are 4-5 since the winning streak ended and sit six games behind the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central. Minnesota's plus-26 run differential is far and away the second best in the division behind the Tigers.

Buxton, tied for second on the team in WAR, was hitting .309 in his last 78 plate appearances before sustaining the injury.

The Minnesota Twins reinstated center fielder Byron Buxton from the seven-day concussion injured list before a three-game series in Seattle, two weeks after he collided with shortstop Carlos Correa in pursuit of a shallow fly ball.
