Passing the Buck

Apparently it's not time for Byron Buxton's return to the active roster:

Per Berardino,  the Twins expect to see four straight right-handed starters, so Cave figures to provide another lefty bat. Come the weekend, however, they'll see a string of left-handed starters. That might be the opening for Buxton's return. It can't the just-demoted Ryan LaMarre, unless somebody else goes on the disabled list.

Which, the way this season has gone for the Twins, is quite possible.
