2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Buxton played over 100 games for just the second time in his career as he returned to playing center field after knee problems in 2023 limited him to DH. Buxton still struggled to stay healthy, however, as he spent time on the injured list for right knee inflammation and a right hip injury. Compared to the rest of his career, his injuries were not as debilitating or as long lasting and he was able to play in the field. The Twins also gave him frequent off days. When in the lineup, Buxton bounced back from a subpar 2023 season at the plate. He posted a .859 OPS and returned to showing plus power. He was in the 86th percentile in hard-hit rate and 87th for exit velocity, according to Baseball Savant. He appeared to slip slightly in center field by most advanced metrics from the best in baseball to just well above average ( 82nd percentile in Outs Above Average, per Baseball Savant). He stole just seven bases as the Twins limit his opportunities due to minimizing injury risk even though he still has top notch speed (97th percentile spring speed). Buxton enters 2025 coming off a rare season where he finished the year healthy and isn't facing any offseason surgeries or rehabilitations. At age 31 could he finally put together the full MVP season that is always so tantalizing? History says temper your expectations for his games played, but his health outlook has rarely been brighter.
