Byron Buxton settles into new role as designated hitter

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As Byron Buxton adapted to his new role as a part-time designated hitter last season, it was a conversation between Bryce Harper and former MVP Jimmy Rollins that helped put things in perspective for him.“Bryce was like, ‘It’s hard,’ ” Buxton said at the beginning of spring training. “Mentally, it is very hard, especially if you’re going on a streak or a slump. If you’re not playing defense, you ain’t got nothing to take your mind off of that.”Among Rollins’ message, per The Athletic: “It’s OK if you’re hurt,” and “it’s OK to make outs,” and “find a distraction.”For the time being, Buxton, who had season-ending knee surgery last year, will be serving as the Twins’ designated hitter, and while there’s been an adjustment process, the center fielder seems to have found a rhythm. While he’s not impacting the Twins on defense, Buxton has made his mark felt at the plate in the first three games of the season, where he’s 6 for 13 at the plate.“My routine is a...
