An MRI on Correa's bruised left heel showed inflammation and he's unlikely to play Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Correa was scratched from the lineup Tuesday due to the issue. With an off day Thursday, Correa would get three days off if he sits out Wednesday's game. Kyle Farmer started at shortstop in Tuesday's game and will likely stay at the position until Correa returns.

Correa was scratched from the lineup Tuesday due to a bruised left heel, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This sounds like a day-to-day type of situation for Correa. Kyle Farmer will play shortstop and bat sixth versus the Giants and right-hander Alex Cobb. Donovan Solano is playing third base and hitting second.

Correa went 2-for-5 with one double, two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
After a slow start to the season (hitting .185 with a .624 OPS through his first 32 games), Correa is hitting .333 (7-for-21) with a home run and four doubles over his last five games. He has a 1.058 OPS over that span.

Correa went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 11-1 rout of the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
He piled up his production after the game was well in hand, connecting on a solo shot in the seventh inning and a two-run single in the eighth. Correa is showing signs of life at the plate -- he's cracked an extra-base hit in four straight games and has three of his six homers on the season in May, along with 11 of his 21 RBI -- but through 11 contests on the month he's still batting just .196 (9-for-46).

Correa went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Thursday's 5-3 victory over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Correa has had a slow start to the season as he's hitting just .191 with a .646 OPS. He came through with a key double late in the game to give the Twins the lead, so perhaps it's a sign he's set to break out of his slump. He's drawing walks (10.6 BB%) and striking out (21 K%) at similar rates to his career averages, so he may be just a bit unlucky so far with a .204 BABIP.

Correa went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Thursday's 7-1 win over Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Correa's 421-foot shot in the fourth inning extended Minnesota's lead to 7-1. The star shortstop still has some work to do to get back to his normal standard, as he's slashing just .205/.280/.373 to start off the year.

Correa went 3-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Saturday's 10-4 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Correa singled in a run in the fifth to make the score 5-2 Nationals. The infielder has scuffled out of the gate, and this was his first multi-hit game since last Friday against the Yankees. It should only be a matter of time until Correa starts piling up the hits again -- he hasn't hit worse than .264 in the last four years.

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.

Correa (back) is in the Twins' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
He missed the past three games with a back issue but is back at shortstop and batting second Thursday. Correa is off to a rough 6-for-33 start at the plate this season and is still in search of his first home run.

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.
