Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said prior to Sunday's game against the Giants that a recent MRI revealed that Correa (heel) is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Correa is out of the lineup for a second straight game Sunday due to the injury, which had previously been classified as a bruised right heel. The updated diagnosis is somewhat worrisome considering that Correa contended with plantar fasciitis for a significant portion of the 2023 season, though that injury was to his left foot. According to Dan Hayes of The Athletic, Correa's latest case of plantar fasciitis isn't believed to be as severe as the one he dealt with in 2023, but the issue nonetheless makes it far from a lock that the veteran shortstop will be ready to go for the Twins' first game out of the All-Star break next Saturday versus the Brewers. Correa was named to his third All-Star Game and will still be in attendance for the Midsummer Classic in Arlington, Texas on Tuesday, but Hefland relays that his availability for the exhibition is up in the air at the moment due to the injury.

Correa (heel) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Correa's bruised right heel doesn't look to be a major concern, but he'll be on the bench for the second straight game and will get an extended rest over the All-Star break before the Twins return to action next Saturday versus the Brewers. Willi Castro will fill in for Correa at shortstop in Sunday's series finale in San Francisco.

Correa was scratched from the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants due to a bruised right heel, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Correa was initially slated to bat third and play short Saturday but was a late scratch as he tends to a bruised heel. In his place, Willi Castro will play shortstop while Ryan Jeffers enters the lineup, moving Christian Vazquez to third base. With just one game left before the All-Star break, the Twins could opt to play it safe with Correa and hold him out of Sunday's first-half finale.

Correa (finger) will start at shortstop and bat second in Monday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Correa was lifted in the first inning of Sunday's 3-2 win over the Astros after he was hit on his right hand by a pitch in his lone at-bat of the day. Fortunately, X-rays cleared Correa of any structural damage, with the Twins labeling his injury as a finger contusion. The injury apparently isn't inhibiting Correa in batting practice Monday, so he'll be ready to go as the Twins kick off a six-game week to close out their pre-All-Star-break schedule.
