Correa went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 11-1 win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Correa's home run -- his eighth of the season -- was one of three on the day for the Twins, who rolled to a comfortable victory in the series opener. The long ball also extended Correa's hit streak to seven games, with the 27-year-old having produced a 1.023 OPS over that stretch. He'll be back in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader in Cleveland, manning shortstop while batting second.

Correa went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Wednesday's 11-10 loss to the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Correa went yard in the first and third innings, but he couldn't get another hit after that. He's gone 11-for-39 (.282) in his last nine games, adding four RBI and five runs scored in that span. The star shortstop hasn't flexed as much power in his first year with the Twins -- he has seven homers and a .466 slugging percentage while adding 23 RBI, 27 runs scored and 12 doubles across 47 contests overall.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Yankees on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
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 (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
Correa has returned to Minnesota 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.

The Twins placed Correa (illness) on the COVID-19-related injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
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.
