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.

Correa tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, Audra Martin of Bally Sports North reports.

EDGE Analysis

Correa wasn't in the lineup for Monday's matchup against the Tigers, and the Twins found out during the game that the shortstop had tested positive for COVID-19. Since Royce Lewis (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, Correa's absence will leave Minnesota particularly shorthanded at shortstop. Jorge Polanco, Nick Gordon and Jose Miranda should be in the mix for additional playing time while Correa is away from the team.

Correa is on the bench for Monday's contest against the Tigers, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Correa will get a day off after playing seven straight games, producing 10 hits including two doubles and a homer in those contests. Jorge Polanco will slide over to shortstop and bat third in Monday's matchup with the Tigers.

Correa went 1-for-5 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 10-7 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Brad Keller hung a sinker over the heart of the plate in the top of the fourth inning and Correa capitalized, sending it over the fence in left center field for his third homer of the year. The shortstop has hit safely in five straight games, and in nine contests since returning from a finger injury he's batting .333 (12-for-36) with four doubles, a homer, five runs and five RBI.

Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Correa started the past three games after being reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, and he'll head to the bench after going 5-for-13 with two doubles, two walks, three RBI and three runs during that span. Nick Gordon will start at shortstop and bat seventh in his place.
