Not in Saturday's lineup Correa is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact Correa has gone 6-for-12 (.500) since being activated from the injured list, but he will get a day off Saturday for maintenance purposes. Nick Gordon will start at shortstop in Correa's place.

Slugs fifth homer Correa went 3-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 9-4 win over the Rays.
Impact The Twins already had the game well in hand when Correa launched his fifth homer of the year off Calvin Faucher in the eighth inning. The shortstop hasn't missed a beat since a nine-game stint on the COVID-19 list, and over his last 14 contests dating back to May 18, Correa is slashing .362/.431/.603 with five doubles, three homers, eight RBI and 10 runs.

Belts homer Thursday Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Yankees on Thursday.
Impact Minnesota shocked Yankees ace Gerrit Cole with three straight homers to begin the bottom of the first inning, and Correa was responsible for the last of those blasts with a long ball to left field. It was his first home run since returning from the COVID-19-related IL on Wednesday. Correa got off to a slow start this season but is batting .368 (32-for-87) with three homers and 14 RBI in 21 games since April 28.

Correa, cleared of COVID-19, rejoins Twins to face Yankees
The Minnesota Twins have reinstated shortstop Carlos Correa from the COVID-19 injured listJUNE 8, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Activated from IL Correa (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday.
Impact Correa tested positive for COVID-19 in late May, but he worked out at Target Field on Tuesday and will serve as the designated hitter while batting second in his return to the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees. Over his 11 games last month between IL stints, the 27-year-old hit .326 with a home run, four doubles, five runs and five RBI.

LEADING OFF: Angels skid goes on sans Maddon, Correa ready
Free falling toward a dreadful bit of team history, the Angels fired manager Joe Maddon on Tuesday and appointed third base coach Phil Nevin to the role on an interim basisJUNE 8, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Expects to return Wednesday Correa (illness) was seen working out at Target Field on Tuesday and said he expects to return from the COVID-19-related injured list Wednesday, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Correa's presence at team facilities suggests he's cleared all COVID-19-related protocols after testing positive for the virus May 31, so at this stage, he'll just need to prove that he's feeling good from a conditioning standpoint after the week-long layoff. Assuming the Twins are satisfied with how the 27-year-old responded to Tuesday's workout, he should be back in the lineup at shortstop for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Nearing return Correa (COVID-19) could return to the lineup in the middle of next week, per manager Rocco Baldelli, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact Correa has returned to Minnosta and has started the testing process to get cleared for a return. Baldelli said he thought Correa would need "at least a couple of days" of being on his feet and working out before he would get back in the lineup, so it sounds like he could return sometime in the series against the Yankees that runs Tuesday through Thursday.

Twins' Correa put on COVID-19 IL, a day after positive test
Carlos Correa has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list by the Minnesota Twins a day after the team said the shortstop had tested positiveMAY 31, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lands on COVID-19 IL The Twins placed Correa (illness) on the COVID-19-related injured list Tuesday.
Impact Correa's placement on the IL was fully expected after multiple reports surfaced Monday indicating that the 27-year-old tested positive for the virus. According to Dan Hayes of The Athletic, Correa is vaccinated, but he isn't feeling well since testing positive and may need more than a few days of recovery time to get his conditioning back in order once he's no longer symptomatic. Minnesota called up Jermaine Palacios from Triple-A St. Paul to provide additional depth in the middle infield, but it's unclear if he'll be deployed as the team's everyday shortstop or if the Twins will rely on a committee of Palacios, Jorge Polanco and Nick Gordon to fill in at the position while Correa is sidelined.
