Correa went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Correa made his presence known after missing the previous four games, smacking his first homer of the year. Fantasy managers can rest easy knowing that the superstar is clearly not hobbled by his previous back issues. The former first overall pick in the 2012 MLB draft is off to a slow start this season with a .661 OPS through his first 40 plate appearances.

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that prior to Wednesday's game against the White Sox that he expects Correa (back) to be back in the lineup for Thursday's series opener with the Yankees, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baldelli noted that Correa was able to go through a workout Tuesday and will go through an "intense" day in the batting cage Wednesday as a final test. The shortstop is out of the lineup Wednesday for the third day in a row while he contends with middle-back spasms. While fantasy managers have a right to be concerned about Correa missing games in the early part of the season, Minnesota seems to be acting extra careful with the 29-year-old.

Correa was scratched from the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox with what he described as a middle back spasm, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Correa was initially included in the lineup for Monday's series opener, after sitting out Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Astros in what was initially believed to be a maintenance day. However, he'll ultimately be on the bench for a second day in a row as the Twins give Correa more time to recuperate from the injury that cropped up during a play at the plate in Saturday's 9-6 win over Houston. Kyle Farmer will handle shortstop Monday, but Correa is hopeful that he'll be back in action as soon as Tuesday.
