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

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.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI in Thursday's loss versus the New York Yankees. Correa's homer came off Marcus Stroman in the top of the first inning. Correa has been putting together a solid season for the Twins with a .253 batting average to go along with five homers and 24 RBI in 158 at-bats. Correa's not the offensive threat that he was earlier in his career, but he is still doing to help managers in deeper leagues and more importantly has looked healthy. Correa will look keep it up versus Mitch Keller on Friday evening.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa is getting a rare day off on Sunday as the team faces the Astros in Houston. With Correa out, Willi Castro will make the start at the 6 for the Twins and will bat sixth against Astros right-hander Hunter Brown. Correa will get a breather after starting in each of the team's last 21 games. He wrapped up the month of May on Friday by hitting .255 (25-for-98) with three home runs, nine doubles, two triples, 14 RBI, 10 walks and 22 strikeouts in 110 plate appearances over 27 games. The two-time All-Star is currently healthy and is a must-start when he's in the starting lineup in most fantasy leagues. Castro has been much better against lefties in 2024 but his hitting a respectable .260 (51-for-196) overall with four homers and seven stolen bases in a utility role for the Twins. He's never faced Brown in his career.

The Minnesota Twins reinstated shortstop Carlos Correa (intercostal) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and optioned utility man Austin Martin to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. Correa is right back in Minnesota's starting lineup, playing shortstop and hitting in the two-hole on Monday versus the Chicago White Sox and left-hander Garrett Crochet. The 29-year-old is back from a right-intercostal strain. He didn't go on a minor-league rehab assignment, so fantasy managers may want to temper expectations for him right away. Plus, he's never faced Crochet in his career. Fantasy managers will be hoping that the two-time All-Star can pick up where he left off before his injury, as Correa was slashing .306/.432/.444 with an .876 OPS, a homer and four RBI in 11 games.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (oblique) did some light glove work off to the side on the field on Wednesday and said he's swinging and doing baseball activities as he recovers from an oblique injury that sent him to the injured list. It sounds as though there's some possibility that he could come off the IL on the coming road trip without a minor-league rehab assignment if things keep trending well. The Twins start their road trip in Los Angeles against the Angels this Friday. The 29-year-old Puerto Rican is itching to get back as the team's starting shortstop after starting the year 11-for-36 (.306) with a homer and four RBI in 11 games played. Willi Castro has been serving as Minnesota's primary shortstop since Correa was placed on the IL.
