Carlos Correa, back in Twins lineup, details his foot injury Shortstop Carlos Correa said he has been dealing with pain over the past four months because of plantar fasciitis.
Sitting again Thursday Correa remains out of the lineup Thursday versus the White Sox.
Impact It's the second straight absence for Correa, who has battled plantar fasciitis throughout the summer. He could be in for regular maintenance days down the stretch with the Twins holding a commanding lead on first place in the AL Central standings. Kyle Farmer will play shortstop and bat eighth Thursday in Chicago.

Heating up at plate Correa went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and an RBI in Monday's 8-3 win over the Guardians. He also reached base when he was struck by a pitch for the fourth time this season.
Impact Though Correa acknowledged toward the end of August that he has continued to battle plantar fasciitis in his left foot, he hasn't seemed to be affected at the plate of late. He'll head into Wednesday's series finale in Cleveland riding a five-game hitting streak, during which he's slashed .429/.478/.571 with one home run, five RBI and four runs. Correa will start at shortstop and bat fifth Wednesday.

Plantar fasciitis a 'struggle' Correa told Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic on Sunday that, since being diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in his left foot in late May, "every step is a struggle."
Impact "Every step is a struggle. It's not easy to deal with," Correa said. "Out of all the things I've played with in my career, there's nothing more painful than what I've been through this year. But I'm pushing through it. If it had been a free-agent year, I probably would have sat out more time to let it heal. But I'm here to help the team win games. Just my presence, I feel I need to be out there." Correa's nagging foot issue no doubt at least partly explains his struggles this season, as he's managed just a .708 OPS through 117 games. He has been better of late with an .882 OPS across his last 18 contests and said he feels an obligation to continue playing through discomfort as the Twins try to wrap up a playoff spot.

Returns to lineup Friday Correa (foot) is playing shortstop and batting cleanup Friday versus the Pirates in his return to the lineup.
Impact Correa didn't play in Wednesday's win over the Tigers due to what the Twins simply referred to as soreness, but it's reasonable to assume it was foot-related since he's been playing through plantar fasciitis for a while. He's feeling well enough to give it a go Friday after Thursday's off day, though, as he and his Minnesota teammates take on Andre Jackson and the Pirates.

Impact Correa didn't appear to be in too much pain after he reached first on the base hit, as he was able to stay in the game and play the full nine innings. The Twins haven't provided much clarity on the source of Correa's soreness, but the injury could be related to his foot, given that he's been playing through plantar fasciitis for multiple months. Regardless, Correa isn't believed to be dealing with anything significant, and the Twins believe that after a maintenance day Wednesday followed by a team off day Thursday, the 28-year-old will be good to go for Friday's series opener versus the Pirates.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Resting again Wednesday Correa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
Impact The Twins haven't indicated that Correa is nursing an injury, but he'll remain on the bench for the second time in three games after he previously received a day off in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Phillies. Correa returned to the lineup for Tuesday's 5-3 win over Detroit and went 1-for-3 with a run scored, but he'll give way to Kyle Farmer at shortstop in the day game after a night game.

Not starting Sunday Correa isn't in the Twins' lineup Sunday against the Phillies.
Impact After extending his hitting streak to eight games Saturday, Correa will get a breather for Sunday's series finale. Kyle Farmer will replace Correa at shortstop and bat seventh.

Goes yard in win Correa went 2-for-3 with three-run homer, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 9-3 win over the Tigers.
Impact Correa got the best of Joey Wentz on Monday, with a run-scoring double in the first inning and an opposite-field three-run shot in the second. Correa snapped a 16-game homer drought, during which he hit just .154 (10-for-65) with six RBI and three runs scored. On the season, the 28-year-old shortstop is now slashing .224/.297/.458 with 13 homers, 52 RBI and 41 runs scored through 102 games.

Pads lead with homer Correa went 2-for-6 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Mariners.
Impact Correa tacked on the Twins' last run of the game with his ninth-inning solo shot. The shortstop had gone 16 games without a homer, though he hit .281 (18-for-64) over that span, showing an overall improvement in his batting. For the season, he's at a .234/.309/.416 slash line with 12 homers, 42 RBI, 36 runs scored, 20 doubles and two triples through 85 contests.

Racks up four hits Monday Correa went 4-for-5 with a double, a run and an RBI in Monday's 8-4 win against the Royals.
Impact Correa batted out of the leadoff spot for the fourth straight game and was a catalyst for the offense with his 12th career four-hit performance. It's a small sample size, but since moving atop the batting order, Correa has gone 8-for-17 with three runs and has boosted his season batting average by 16 points to .228. Given that success, it wouldn't be surprising if he remains in the leadoff spot for the foreseeable future.

Homers in Saturday's loss Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Tigers.
Impact Correa got the Twins on the board with his sixth-inning solo shot, which was his second long ball in the last three games. The shortstop has hit safely in six of his last seven contests, going 8-for-27 (.296) in that span. He's had a fairly solid June, but he's still hitting just .220 with a .718 OPS, 11 homers, 37 RBI, 23 runs scored, no stolen bases, 15 doubles and two triples through 68 games this season. Five of his homers have come this month.

Walks it off Tuesday Correa went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Brewers.
Impact The shortstop crushed a Devin Williams changeup to left field in the ninth inning for a two-run homer -- the first regular-season walk-off home run of Correa's career, although he does have two in the playoffs. The 28-year-old is catching fire in June, going yard three times in the last five games and batting .276 (8-for-29) with eight RBI over seven contests since returning from a three-games absence to deal with plantar fasciitis in his left heel.
