Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the Monday, August 8th edition of Minor League Ball Gameday. Some items for your consideration:

****The Twins sent Byron Buxton down to the minors today. August Fagerstrom at Fangraphs looks at Buxton's struggles, breaking down his swing and also looking at historical parallels. Bottom line: Buxton's got problems but he's not doomed.

****Nice article at MinorLeagueBall.com today about Baltimore Orioles first base prospect Trey Mancini, currently hitting .295/.368/.465 for Triple-A Norfolk.

****Three homers yesterday for Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Mike Ahmed.

****3,000 hits from Ichiro Suzuki.

****Domenic Lanza at Faketeams looks at Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Rob Segedin. We posted our own article on him earlier today.
