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 (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.

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.
