    Minnesota Twins star prospect Byron Buxton was taken off the field in an ambulance after an outfield collision Wednesday night in his first game for Double-A New Britain.

    The 20-year-old center fielder -- ranked the No. 2 MLB prospect by ESPN.com's Keith Law. Buxton and the top MLB prospect by Baseball America -- sustained a concussion when he crashed into right fielder Mike Kvasnicka diving for a ball Kvasnicka caught in the fifth inning of the Rock Cats' 8-5 victory over the Bowie Baysox.

    David Adams tagged up and scored from first base after the jarring collision that delayed play for more than 30 minutes.
