Twins Welcome Back Shortstop Carlos Correa from Injury: What’s Next for the Team

The Minnesota Twins have welcomed back shortstop Carlos Correa, who has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. He missed 16 games due to a strained right rib cage muscle. Despite not needing a rehabilitation assignment, Correa is now ready to rejoin the team as they face the Chicago White Sox in a three-game series.

To make room for Correa on the roster, the Twins have optioned multi-position player Austin Martin to Triple-A St. Paul. In his 22 games with the team, Martin batted .226 with 16 runs, six doubles, six walks, two steals, and one home run. With Correa back in the lineup, the Twins are looking forward to having his offensive production and defensive skills on the field once again.

Correa had a strong start to the season, batting .306 with two doubles, one home run, four RBIs, and eight walks in 11 games before his injury. While he was out, Willi Castro filled in at shortstop for the majority of the games. Despite not needing a rehabilitation assignment, Correa is now ready to rejoin the team as they face the Chicago White Sox in a three-game series.
