Correa went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer during Wednesday's 9-4 loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
After a leadoff walk to Luis Arraez to start the fourth, Correa smacked his second home run of the season to deep center. The high-priced free agent has had mixed results so far with Minnesota, but he's currently on a seven-game hitting streak. During that stretch, he's slashing .452/.645/1.114 with eight RBI.

Correa went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in a 7-1 win Thursday over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Correa delivered the big blow in a 2-1 ballgame when he hit a double that plated three (one scoring because of an error) in the fifth inning. He added an RBI single in the sixth and another single in the eighth. It was his first three-hit game as a Twin and just his third multi-hit game on the season. His three RBI matched his season total going into the game and the double was his first extra-base hit since April 12. The performance raised the two-time All-Star's batting average to .200 for the year.

Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Correa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The Twins and Dodgers are wrapping up their series with a day game, so Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli likely viewed it as an ideal time to hand Correa his first rest day of the season. Jorge Polanco will slide over from second base to fill in at shortstop for Correa, who is off to a 4-for-19 start to the campaign after doubling twice in Tuesday's 7-2 loss.

Correa went 1-for-5 with a home run in Sunday's win over Seattle. He's hitting 2-for-12 through his first three games with the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Correa was off to a slow start before hitting the home run in the 6th inning in Sunday's game. He's hit second or third in the order in each game as a mainstay in the lineup.

Correa is hitting third and starting at shortstop in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Correa reported to spring training shortly after signing a three-year, $105.3 million contract with the Twins on March 18. However, Sunday's appearance will mark his first game action with his new club. The lineup closely resembles what could be Minnesota's Opening Day lineup, meaning Correa could regularly hit third to start the campaign.

Correa signed a three-year, $105.3 million contract with the Twins on Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Correa's deal with Minnesota comes as a surprise, as the 27-year-old had been linked to multiple contenders and larger-market teams in free agency and turned down a five-year, $160 million contract from Houston in November, Mark Berman of Fox 26 reports. However, he'll join the Twins on a deal that includes opt-outs after each of the first two seasons with a $35.1 million annual salary that is the highest for any infielder in MLB history, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Correa spent the first seven years of his career with the Astros and appeared in 148 games during the 2021 campaign. He slashed .279/.366/.485 last year with a career-high 26 homers and 104 runs to go with 92 RBI. The Twins traded for Gio Urshela last weekend, but the former Yankee will now compete with Luis Arraez for playing time at third base.

Correa will decline the qualifying offer from the Astros, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
He also unsurprisingly declined a five-year, $160 million offer from Houston, per a report from Mark Berman of Fox 26, so it seems like he may be signing elsewhere this winter. Correa hit .279/.366/.485 with 26 home runs and 5.8 fWAR in 148 games last season and turned 27 in September, so he couldn't be hitting the open market at a better time.

Correa went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Red Sox in Game 1 of the ALCS.
EDGE Analysis
Correa recorded his third multi-hit performance of the postseason in Friday's contest, and he gave the Astros the lead with his solo blast in the bottom of the seventh inning. Across his five playoff appearances this year, the shortstop has gone 8-for-17 with a home run, two doubles, five runs and five RBI.
