Impact All three of Correa's hits were singles, but they collectively resulted in three Twins runs. The shortstop added another RBI with a first-inning fielder's choice, so all four of Minnesota's runs came on plays off his bat. Correa has gone 5-for-10 with two walks in three contests since returning from the injured list Sept. 14.

Out of Minnesota lineup Correa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland.
Impact Correa has started every other game since returning from the injured list Saturday, as the Twins clearly don't want to overload him as he comes back from a two-month absence due to plantar fasciitis. Brooks Lee will be at shortstop Tuesday as Minnesota looks to even the series.
SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
On bench Sunday Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Impact The veteran shortstop went 1-for-2 with a double Saturday in his return from a two-month absence due to plantar fasciitis, and he'll head to the bench Sunday for the early-afternoon series finale. Correa didn't play in any rehab games prior to being reinstated from the injured list, so it won't be surprising if the Twins continue to get him regular rest days as he gets back up to speed.

All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa returns to help Twins in the stretch drive
For the second time in two days, the Minnesota Twins have reinstated one of their star players from the injured list to help with their playoff pushSEPTEMBER 14 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Officially activated The Twins reinstated Correa (heel) from the 10-day injured list Saturday.
Impact Plantar fasciitis in Correa's right foot has kept him out of action since the All-Star break, but he began making significant progress in his recovery after beginning a new treatment earlier this month and has now been cleared to return to the active roster. The 29-year-old infielder didn't appear in any rehab games before being reinstated, so there's a chance he shows a bit of rust during his first several games back, but he still figures to remain productive after slashing .308/.377/.520 through 316 plate appearances prior to his injury. DaShawn Keirsey was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Set to return Saturday Correa (plantar fasciitis) will be activated from the injured list before Saturday's game, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact Correa has been taking live batting practice against minor league pitchers and working in the field the past few days. He's been sidelined since the All-Star break due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He'll likely return to starting at shortstop and may be rusty at the plate from his extended time off. However, it's a good sign for the Twins who could use a healthy Correa to ensure they make the playoffs and for the postseason.

Impact Correa was placed on the IL on July 20 due to right plantar fasciitis. The Twins weren't initially expecting him to miss much time, but Correa's return date keeps getting pushed back while he's continued to deal with soreness after running.

Impact On a positive note, Correa was able to run at about 80 percent intensity for 30 yards while wearing tennis shoes, so he at least looks to be taking a step in the right direction in his recovery from plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Correa was initially placed on the injured list over the All-Star break and was expected to be in line for an abbreviated absence, but he's now missed more than two months due to a lack of progress.
