Manager Rocco Baldelli said that a team doctor would examine Buxton but that for now the Twins anticipate he’ll be traveling with the team for the next series at Kansas City, which begins Tuesday. Buxton left in the first inning of Minnesota’s series-opening 8-4 win over Boston on Friday night after sliding roughly into second base. His left leg appeared to get caught underneath him while his right foot slammed into the bag.

The Oakland Athletics placed outfielder Stephen Piscotty on the COVID-19 list prior to Friday night's game against the host Toronto Blue Jays. The Athletics also placed catcher Austin Allen along with left-handers A.J. Puk and Kirby Snead on the restricted list.

A golden sombrero firmly in the rear-view mirror, Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr., was back to his old self Friday. He hit a solo homer for a lead Toronto wouldn't relinquish in a 4-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics at Rogers Centre. Starter Ross Stripling threw four shutout innings and closer Jordan Romano earned his fifth save in the opener of a three-game series.

That was more what we expected from a rebuilding roster, and it still wasn’t that bad. The Oakland A’s lost 4-1 to the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday, opening a series at the Rogers Centre. Coming off a strong first week of the season, the A’s never quite found the big plays they needed in this one.

Players are not paid and do not accrue major league service time while on the restricted list.

Former Moeller High School pitcher is the latest Crusader to be called up to the majors.

While many of the Oakland A’s will get a chance to reunite with Matt Chapman in Toronto, a few aren’t with the team — almost assuredly because they remain unvaccinated. Catcher Austin Allen and relievers A.J. Puk and Kirby Snead were placed on the restricted list on Friday, hours before the A’s play the first of a three-game weekend series against the Blue Jays.
