Inflammation, no damage, 10 day IL. Expected to miss no more time than that.

Which means, he'll be out until September.

A direct outcome of Mauer's bloated contract.

Thus is why I asked and got the responses I expected: 10 days. Whole season. So Twins

The MRI revealed no damage. The cynicism on Buxton's injuries dictates at least a few people joking he'll be out for the next 3 seasons.
The move was made retroactive to Thursday. Both president of baseball operations Derek Falvey and manager Rocco Baldelli said Friday they believe Buxton is on a realistic track to be ready to return when he's eligible May 12, or at least a few days after that. An MRI test on his knee revealed no structural damage, Falvey said.

Which perhaps was influenced be Mauer's bloated OPS in 2009?

The Metro-Dome. Cause of and solution to all our problems..

I can rest easy knowing who to blame. And even easier as Buxton comes back in a week or so to a torrid tear at the plate,
