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

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (heel) has progressed to hitting overhand batting practice as of Wednesday. The hope is that he will progress to jogging by Thursday, assuming there is improvement in the soreness in the heel. Correa was placed on the 10-day injured on July 20 as the Twins began the second half of the season, receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right heel. He's experiencing plantar fasciitis in the opposite foot from the lingering issue that plagued him throughout the 2023 season, but that doesn't change the fact that Minnesota is likely to proceed with caution with their 29-year-old star shortstop. Before hitting the shelf, Correa was slashing a robust .308/.377/.520 with 13 home runs, 16 doubles, 47 RBI and 51 runs scored in 279 at-bats (75 games) and needs to be stashed in all fantasy leagues while utility man Willi Castro holds down the fort at short.

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.
