FORT MYERS, Fla. — Minnesota Twins Double-A center fielder Byron Buxton, the No. 1 prospect in minor league baseball, sat out Monday’s camp game with a bruised left elbow.

Buxton, who suffered the injury to his non-throwing arm diving for a ball in the outfield on Sunday, was examined by Twins doctors and the issue was not considered serious. No MRI was taken, and Buxton is considered day to day.

“He dove for a ball and rolled onto his arm,” Twins farm director Brad Steil said. “It was a little sore (Monday), so we just held him out.”

Buxton remained in the game Sunday and struck out on three pitches against Twins lefty Edgar Ibarra in the final inning.

The elbow worsened somewhat overnight, and Buxton reported the issue to team trainers on Monday morning.

Buxton, 20, went 3 for 22 (.136) with a home run in his first big-league camp before being reassigned to Double-A New Britain on March 9.
