If he is active, he is playing, there is no other option for someone like Buxton. If he says he can play and is not injured, they aren't going to put him on the IL. There is a difference between being dinged up and injured.
But they aren't going to sit him, he is our best player and it stinks that he may not be 100% right now but he is going to be in the lineup every day no matter what we say. He has earned that right.
