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.

Correa went 1-for-3 with a double, two runs, two RBI, a walk and a strikeout in Friday's 9-4 win over the White Sox in Game 2 of the ALDS.

EDGE Analysis

Correa remained effective at the plate after he reached base three times in Thursday's Game 1 win. The 27-year-old was one of three Astros to record an extra-base hit in Friday's comeback victory, and he's now gone 3-for-6 with two walks across the first two games of the ALDS.

Correa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Correa hit a solo shot off Domingo Acevedo in the eighth inning to put the Astros up by three runs. He finished the campaign with two long balls in his last three games. The 26-year-old slashed .279/.366/.485 with 26 homers, 92 RBI and 104 runs scored in 640 plate appearances during the regular season.

Correa isn't starting Saturday's game against the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Correa will head to the bench after he went 4-for-12 with a homer, three runs, three RBI and two walks across the last four games. Aledmys Diaz will take his place at shortstop and bat seventh.

Correa went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 3-2 win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Correa's three-run long ball off Ryan Yarbrough in the fourth inning broke a scoreless tie and proved to be enough offense for the Astros. It was the 25th homer of the year for Correa, who had gone his previous seven games without an extra-base hit. The free-agent-to-be is slashing .277/.363/.480 with 91 RBI in 631 plate appearances this season.
