Carlos Correa's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Minnesota Twins president of baseball operations Derek Falvey said the plantar fasciitis in shortstop Carlos Correa's right foot is progressing ahead of where he was with his left foot a year ago. If Correa is able to stay healthy, the Twins plan to keep him as their starter at the 6 and not move him to third base. "He's still young," Falvey said. "He's a tremendous shortstop. I see no reason why he wouldn't be as long he manages the plantar issues in a positive direction. He's tracking in a positive direction. He's got good plans for how he's going to handle it therapeutically and I think he's in a good place." The 30-year-old ended up missing most of the second half of the season due to ongoing foot issues but still finished with a .310/.388/.517 slash line with a .905 OPS, 14 home runs and 54 RBI in 86 games played. At a premium position, Correa's foot issues make him an extremely risky fantasy SS heading into 2025.

The Minnesota Twins will activate shortstop Carlos Correa (foot) from the injured list on Saturday and will option outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr. to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. Correa should be back in the starting lineup on Saturday at Target Field against the Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Nick Martinez, but fantasy managers will want to check back later for further confirmation. The 29-year-old has been away from the Twins since the All-Star break due to plantar fasciitis, so there certainly could be a bit of a rust factor now that he's back. The Puerto Rican infielder was hitting a strong .308/.377/.520 with an .896 OPS, 13 home runs, 47 RBI and 51 runs scored in 279 at-bats before his injury, so fantasy managers are hoping he can somehow pick up where he left off. Don't be surprised if the Twins look to ease Correa back in at shortstop after all the time he has missed.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (foot) is "very encouraged" after sprinting three of the last four days. Correa started a new treatment five days ago. He's not getting ahead of himself right now, but it's also the best he's felt in a long time as he tries to recover from plantar fasciitis in his right foot. It's good news for the 29-year-old, but there is very little time left for him to do anything for fantasy managers still in the mix for a title. Given all the time that Correa has missed (he's been out since July), it's likely he'll need some kind of a rehab assignment, although the minor-league will also be over soon. Until Correa is able to return, infield prospect Brooks Lee should continue to see regular playing time at the 6 in Minnesota. Foot issues have become a problem for Correa, but he was also hitting an impressive .308/.377/.520 with an .896 OPS, 13 homers and 47 RBI this year before his injury.

There remains no timeline for Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa's (heel) return from the plantar fasciitis in his right heel, head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta said on Tuesday. Correa ran again on Tuesday, still experiencing discomfort, as the Twins are still managing their shortstop's situation of pain management. Although he reported feeling better than he did the last time he ran, Correa still isn't running the bases. The 29-year-old star infielder has been on the 10-day injured list since July 20, and there's simply no telling how much longer this issue might linger for. Until Correa is back with Minnesota, super utility man Willi Castro should remain rostered in all fantasy leagues.

Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli noted on Wednesday that shortstop Carlos Correa (heel) is ramping up his running, but he is not sprinting yet. "When he's able to sprint and run the way that he needs to, he's going to go on a rehab assignment and go get some at-bats," Baldelli said. "Then he'll be on his way back at that point." Correa jogged on the field for the first time on Saturday since going on the injured list on July 20 due to right plantar fasciitis, and there is still optimism that the 29-year-old star infielder will be able to return to the Twins sometime in mid-August. Until Correa is back, switch-hitting utility man Willi Castro should be rostered in all fantasy leagues. Castro is slashing .257/.344/.403 with eight home runs, 25 doubles, 64 runs scored, and 10 stolen bases in 404 at-bats this year.
