Byron Buxton has had an All-Star season for the Minnesota Twins highlighted by his consistent presence in the lineup.

And this time, after consulting with teammates, family and friends, the Twins center fielder is going as a Monday night Home Run Derby participant next week, too. The last, and first, time Buxton played in the All-Star Game was 2022 in Los Angeles, when he homered in an American League victory at Dodger Stadium.

Buxton announced his plans to compete in next Monday’s Home Run Derby on his Instagram account a day after he was named the Twins’ lone representative in the All-Star Game. It will be his second Midsummer Classic but the first time he’s participated in the derby.
