Buxton will look to become the second Twins player to win the Home Run Derby, and he'll do it in his home state.

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.
