CLEVELAND — Twins outfielder Byron Buxton returned from the injured list and was back in Minnesota's lineup batting fifth after being sidelined the past two weeks with inflammation in his right knee. Buxton missed Minnesota's past 14 games. He played in back-to-back games this week at Triple-A St. Paul without any problems, the final step to being cleared to rejoin the Twins. Buxton was placed on the IL on May 3, two days after his knee flared up in a game against the White Sox. The 30-year-old Buxton has had surgery on the knee in each of the past two postseasons.
