Correa (finger) said Saturday that he's starting to feel better, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Correa was recently placed on the 10-day injured list due to his right middle finger contusion, but he was able to participate in throwing and hitting drills prior to Saturday's game against the Guardians. The 27-year-old is hopeful that he'll be able to return after spending the minimum of 10 days on the injured list, and he's eligible to be activated as early as Monday.

Correa (finger) hopes to return from the 10-day injured list after a minimum-length stay, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins tried to give Correa a chance to avoid the injured list as he recovers from a bruised finger, but it turns out that he'll need at least 10 days to heal, as he was still feeling pain while hitting and throwing Monday. His placement on the injured list was backdated to Thursday, so he's eligible to return Monday in Oakland. Royce Lewis should continue to serve as the primary shortstop until then.

Correa landed on the injured list with a right middle finger contusion Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

It initially looked as though Correa had broken his finger after he was hit by a pitch Thursday against the Orioles, though tests later revealed that he was merely dealing with a bruise. The Twins gave him a few days to see if he would heal fast enough to avoid the injured list, but it turns out he'll need more time to heal. The move was made retroactive to Friday, so Correa will be eligible to return next Monday. Royce Lewis should continue to serve as the team's primary shortstop until Correa returns.

The Twins are expected to place Correa (finger) on the 10-day injured list, possibly as soon as Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Correa's initial diagnosis of a broken right middle finger proved erroneous, he continues to deal with bruising and soreness with the digit and will be out of the lineup for the fourth game in a row Tuesday against the Astros. Hayes notes that while Correa hasn't experienced any setbacks with the finger, he still needs about 3-to-4 more days to completely heal up from the injury, and the Twins can't afford to play a man short in their series with Houston. Assuming Correa goes on the IL, Royce Lewis would continue to serve as the Twins' everyday shortstop for the rest of the week.

Correa (finger) said Tuesday's series opener against the Astros is "not a realistic day to come back," Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Correa isn't dealing with a fracture in his right middle finger, he's been held out of the lineup for three consecutive games and is still dealing with soreness. He plans to take some dry swings Monday, but it seems likely that he'll be held out for at least one more matchup. Assuming Correa is unavailable against his former team Tuesday, Royce Lewis would likely draw another start at shortstop.

Correa (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Royce Lewis will pick up a third straight start at shortstop while Correa remains on the bench, but the Twins are optimistic the 27-year-old's absence due to the bruised and sore finger on his left hand won't linger much longer. According to Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com, Correa is scheduled to receive additional treatment for the finger injury Sunday and could progress to taking dry swings and/or hitting off a tee if he shows enough progress. Correa will benefit from a team off day Monday before the Twins return to action Tuesday against the Astros.

Correa (finger) isn't starting Saturday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Correa's recent CT scan didn't reveal a fracture, so the 27-year-old is considered day-to-day as he deals with a bruise and soreness. He'll remain out of the lineup for a second straight game while Royce Lewis starts at shortstop and bats ninth.

Correa (finger) underwent a CT scan Friday that didn't reveal a fracture, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Correa was initially believed to be dealing with a non-displaced fracture in his right middle finger after being hit by a pitch Thursday against the Orioles, but the finger is ultimately just bruised and sore. President of baseball operations Derek Falvey said the shortstop is considered day-to-day for now, so it's possible he'll avoid a trip to the injured list. Royce Lewis was called up from Triple-A St. Paul and will start at shortstop Friday against the Athletics.

Correa appears to have suffered a non-displaced fracture in his right middle finger after being hit by a pitch Thursday against Baltimore, Megan Ryan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was originally reported that Correa's X-rays came back clean, though the team issued a clarification. Correa will receive a CT scan Friday to confirm the diagnosis, though it appears that he is in line for a lengthy absence even if he avoids surgery. Nick Gordon figures to see an uptick in playing time in the short term, though Correa's absence could also mean that Jose Miranda has a clearer path to everyday playing time even once Alex Kirilloff (wrist) and Luis Arraez (illness) return.

Correa (finger) will get a CT scan on his right middle finger Friday, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Correa was hit by a pitch on two occasions Thursday and was ultimately removed from the game. He was diagnosed with a contusion, though that diagnosis could change after he undergoes further evaluation. Nick Gordon entered the game at shortstop, and he could see an uptick in playing time if Correa faces an extended absence.
