Buxton, who has been outstanding as captain since being handed the armband by manager Billy Dearden, will have to sit out the home clash with Shrewsbury after receiving 5 yellow cards.
This means that Johnny Mullins will return at right back, with Alex-John Baptiste moving back into central defence to partner John Olav-Hjelde.
It now remains to be seen who will captain the Stags in Buxton's absence.
