Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (foot) was in the team's clubhouse on Monday before the series opener against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies in a walking boot. Correa said the boot will stay on for a few more days and he's unsure if he'll resume baseball activities immediately after that. He's hoping he's not out longer than another week or two. The 29-year-old All-Star shortstop isn't going to be ready to return to the Twins in the minimum 10 days after he was put on the injured list on Saturday with right plantar fasciitis. The Puerto Rican infielder needs to be stashed in all fantasy formats while hitting .308/.377/.520 on the year with an .896 OPS, 13 homers and 47 RBI, but this injury is worrisome for him the rest of the way. Willi Castro is expected to see most of the playing time at short in Minnesota with Correa sidelined.
Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (foot) was placed on the 10-day injured on Saturday, July 20, with right-foot plantar fasciitis. In a corresponding move, the Twins recalled second baseman Edouard Julien from Triple-A St. Paul. Correa was absent from the starting nine over the final two games before the mid-summer classic and will now sit out for at least the next 10 games. The 29-year-old has been enjoying a nice bounce back season, posting an excellent .308/.377/.520 line with 13 long balls and 47 RBI. Julien could see stable playing time while Correa is sidelined but has struggled in the big leagues this season with a disappointing .211 AVG. In the minor leagues, the 25-year-old has held a mere .233 AVG. Julien could be worth a speculative add in deeper leagues if he can produce during this stint.
Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (foot) will not play in this year's All-Star game on Tuesday after he was held out of Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday after undergoing an MRI exam, which revealed plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Correa is being replaced by two-time World Series MVP and Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager on the American League roster. Correa is still expected to attend the All-Star festivities this week in Arlington, Texas. The 29-year-old missed the final two games of the first half of the season last weekend, although his recent bout of plantar fasciitis isn't expected to be as severe as when he dealt with it in his right foot for most of last season. It's unclear if Correa will be ready to go for the start of the second half this Saturday against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers, so fantasy managers will want to check back then to see if he's active.
Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (heel) has been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, according to Dan Hayes of The Athletic. Correa was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup and underwent an MRI shortly after. The 29-year-old had a similar injury in his opposite foot last season. Hayes also reported that this case is said to be not as severe as last time. Correa spent time on the injured list for this injury last season and could do the same again. The former first-overall selection has enjoyed a nice bounce-back season in 2024 with a strong .308/.377/.520 line and 13 home runs. If Correa were to miss an extended period of time, Brooks Lee and Willi Castro are strong candidates to fill in at shortstop.
Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (finger) is starting at shortstop and batting second for the Twins on Monday against the hosting Chicago White Sox and right-hander Chris Flexen. Correa left Sunday's win over the Houston Astros in the first inning after he was hit by a pitch on his right hand, but fortunately X-rays came back negative and he won't have to miss any time at all. The 29-year-old Puerto Rican infielder has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball in the first half of the season, slashing .305/.376/.508 with an .883 OPS, 11 home runs, 45 RBI and 48 runs scored in 262 at-bats. He'll enter Monday's contest carrying a nine-game hitting streak that has seen him go 12-for-34 (.353) with three homers, two doubles, nine RBI and 11 runs scored. Correa is also hitting .313 with an RBI in 16 career at-bats against Flexen. Get him back into starting fantasy lineups everywhere.
Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (finger) was removed from Sunday's game after getting hit by a pitch on the hand. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative for any structural damage. That being said, it sounds like the 29-year-old slugger is dealing with a right finger contusion. After the game, Correa told reporters that he plans on playing during Monday's game. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Twins hold out Correa for a game as a precaution. For now, it sounds like Correa is going to play but fantasy managers will need to check back for another update.
Carlos Correa Leaves Sunday’s Game Early After HBP
Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (hand) left Sunday's game early after being hit by a pitch in his right hand, according to Julia Morales of the Space City Home Network. The former platinum glove winner left the game in the first inning after taking a fastball from Houston right-hander Spencer Arrighetti. Correa was replaced by Kyle Farmer. While the severity of the injury is still unknown, the 29-year-old will likely go for X-rays. Correa entered Sunday with a nine-game hitting streak and an overall .305/.376/.508 slash line through 71 games this season. If he were to miss any extended period of time, Brooks Lee, Kyle Farmer, or Willi Castro are all strong candidates to see the majority of opportunities at shortstop.
Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (wrist) has returned to the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Correa was forced to exit early on Thursday after getting hit in the wrist by a pitch. Afterwards, Correa said he was fine and that he'd play on Friday. That appears to be true as Correa will play shortstop and bat second against right-hander Logan Gilbert on Friday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups with Correa back in the mix.
Updating a previous report, Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (thumb) said his hand went numb initially when he got hit by a pitch in Thursday's win over the Arizona Diamondbacks but he was relieved after his X-rays came back negative. Correa said he'd be ready to play in Friday's series opener on the road in Seattle against the Mariners. It remains to be seen if Twins manager Rocco Baldelli will actually pencil him into the lineup, but the bottom line is that the 29-year-old avoided a long-term injury after what initially looked like it could be a serious injury. Correa got a hit in his only official at-bat of Thursday's game before leaving and was on a heater in June coming into the game, batting .382 (34-for-89) with four homers, four doubles and 18 RBI in 22 games. If he's in the lineup on Friday, keep him in your starting fantasy lineups.
Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (arm) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Correa took a 94-mph fastball off his right arm which forced him to exit the contest. The assumption is that the 29-year-old will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Kyle Farmer shifted over to shortstop after Correa was forced to leave. He could see additional playing time or Brooks Lee might receive a call-up if Correa does miss an extended period of time. UPDATE: Correa doesn't have a fracture in his wrist after undergoing an X-ray and he's considered day-to-day with a right-wrist contusion.
