Hi there. Welcome to the Rota Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast. My name is Chris Crawford. I'm joined

today by my good buddy Ryan Boyer. Today is Sunday, August 20th, and we're going to go over the three

up and three down from Saturday. We're also going to be offering some fab recommendations, a bunch

of prospects getting called up that we have at least some interest in for the remainder

of the 2023 season.

But before we get into that, let's get into some headlines.

And Byron Buxton has fortunately and unfortunately been a headliner for a lot.

Ryan tell people what's going on.

Yeah.

So this isn't like his return is not imminent. It does not seem. But really the big

news that came out yesterday, Rocco Baldelli said that Buxton could play center field upon his

return. Yes.

Which I think, actually I know, were coming up on exactly the year anniversary of the last time he played center field.

It was August 22nd, 2022.

Jeez.

Which is crazy to say because he's undoubtedly win on the field,

one of the best defensive center fielders in baseball.

But I think we all understand what the twins have been trying to accomplish with this

and keeping Buxton in the DH spot, trying to keep his bat in the lineup.

Unfortunately, he's still battled some injuries.

He's stayed on the field for the most part, currently out with a hamstring issue.

I think more of a worry, at least maybe over the long term.
