Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Correa singled in his first at-bat before crushing a leadoff homer his second time around to put the Twins up 1-0 in the top of the fourth. It was his seventh long ball of the season and his first since May 13 against the Cubs as the shortstop continues to try and gut it out while dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left heel. Correa's average now sits at .210 following the two-hit outing Thursday and he's gone just 4-for-24 at the plate over his last six games.

Correa (heel) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Correa will start at shortstop and bat third versus the Rays and right-hander Zach Eflin after missing another stretch of games due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot. It's something he might have to manage the rest of the way, and his .207/.299/.372 slash line for the season leaves plenty to be desired.

Correa (heel) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Assuming Correa doesn't come off the bench to play, this will make four of five games that the shortstop won't be able to play as he continues to be stymied by plantar fasciitis in his left heel. With Correa again out of the lineup, Kyle Farmer will get the start at shortstop and hit eighth. Correa should still be considered day-to-day, but fantasy managers will need to monitor this situation for the foreseeable future.

Corres (heel) remains sidelined Saturday against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Correa's right ankle caused much consternation over the winter, but it's been his left leg which has caused problems this season. He's been dealing with plantar fasciitis since late May, and while it's yet to send him to the injured list, he's now missed three of the last four games. It's possible he's back in the lineup Sunday, but the Twins have a scheduled off day, so they could keep him sidelined Sunday in order to give him four consecutive days to rest. Kyle Farmer will start at shortstop in his absence.

Correa aggravated the plantar fasciitis in his left heel during Thursday's game against Cleveland, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Correa had seemingly recovered from a combination of a muscle strain and plantar fasciitis in his left foot, but it seems the latter remains an issue. It's still unknown how long Correa will be out, but it's possible he's facing a trip to the injured list this time around.

Correa was removed from Thursday's game against Cleveland early, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The reason for Correa's early exit is unclear, but the Twins should provide more details in the near future. The 28-year-old shortstop had been dealing with a foot injury, so it's possible his old injury flared back up. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

Correa went 1-for-4 in his return to Sunday's lineup against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Correa was slotted back in at shortstop and hit third after sitting out Saturday's game while managing some foot and heel discomfort. He singled his first time up and nearly missed a home run to center in the eighth. It's been an unusually slow season thus far at the plate for the 28-year-old, who is now slashing .216/.392/.700 with six homers, 24 RBI, 14 runs and a 24:45 BB:K over 201 plate appearances.

Correa will start at shortstop and bat third in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
After recently overcoming a bout of plantar fasciitis, Correa sat out Saturday's 9-7 win, but his absence looks like it was mainly for maintenance purposes. Fantasy managers should expect Minnesota to give Correa an occasional day of rest during the summer months to keep him healthy down the stretch, but he nonetheless appears ready to handle a near-everyday role moving forward.
