Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton was placed on the 7-day concussion list on Saturday, two days after colliding with shortstop Carlos Correa during a 4-0 win over the host Baltimore Orioles. Buxton entered concussion protocol Thursday and remained there until Minnesota placed him on the concussion list prior to Saturday's game against the host Milwaukee Brewers.

The Twins are already without a few key players: rookie infielder Luke Keaschall has been on the injured list with a fractured forearm he suffered in just his seventh big-league game and outfielder Matt Wallner has been sidelined for a month by a strained hamstring.

Correa appeared to take the brunt of the collision on Thursday when Buxton's forehead and chin smacked into the back of his head and left shoulder, respectively. He appeared woozy but exited the field under his own power following a prolonged visit by the athletic training staff.
