Jun 25 2025Correa went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa ran his hitting streak up to a modest five games, and he's been hitting well since coming off the injured list due to a concussion. Over these last 112 plate appearances, the veteran shortstop is slashing .298/.348/.471 with four home runs, six doubles, 11 RBI and 16 runs scored covering 28 outings. Although the RBI are relatively low during that period, Correa should see plenty of chances to drive in runs as long as he's hitting in the heart of the Twins' order.
Jun 7 2025Correa (back) is starting at shortstop and batting third against the Blue Jays on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa will return to Minnesota's lineup following a three-game absence due to back tightness. The 31-year-old shortstop has slashed .275/.318/.463 with four home runs and 11 RBI in 85 plate appearances since the beginning of May.
Jun 6 2025Correa (back) is not in the Twins' starting lineup against the Blue Jays on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa will miss a third consecutive game due to back tightness, but he could be available as a pinch hitter in Friday's series opener. Brooks Lee will start at shortstop and bat fifth.
Jun 5 2025Correa (back) confirmed after Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Athletics that he will remain out of the lineup for Thursday's series finale in Sacramento, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. "We're taking the smart option of taking these two days [off] so I can go back home and play at home," Correa said, regarding his exclusion from the lineup Wednesday and Thursday. "I'm not going to be slipping at the plate." ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was scratched from the starting nine ahead of Wednesday's contest due to back tightness, an issue that he said was causing him to slip in the batter's box recently. The veteran shortstop and the Twins both agreed it was in his best interest to get two days off to allow his back pain to subside, but the expectation is that he'll be back in the lineup Friday versus the Blue Jays. Brooks Lee got the start at shortstop in Correa's stead Wednesday and will likely fill in for Correa again Thursday.
Jun 4 2025Correa was scratched from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Athletics due to back tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The severity of Correa's injury remains unknown, but it's apparently enough to warrant keeping him on the bench for Wednesday's contest. Brooks Lee will enter the starting nine in Correa's place, batting eighth while playing shortstop.
May 31 2025Correa was ejected from Saturday's loss at Seattle in the seventh inning for arguing with the umpire about the strike zone while in the on-deck circle, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He went 1-for-2 with a double before departing. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa had never been ejected from a major-league game before Saturday. His ejection came at a poor time in a close game, as Correa has been hot at the plate. He's hitting .400 (10-for-25) with three home runs in his last eight games since returning from a concussion May 23.
May 30 2025Correa went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 12-6 extra-inning win over the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa gave the Twins their first lead when he took Casey Legumina deep on the first pitch of the 10th inning. Over seven games since his return from a concussion, Correa is 8-for-24 (.333) with three homers and five RBI. The shortstop is up to five long balls this season while slashing .250/.290/.390 with 18 RBI, 20 runs scored, nine doubles and no stolen bases over 48 contests.
May 26 2025Correa went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Rays on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa brought Minnesota to within a run with his two-run blast in the seventh inning, but that was the only time the Twins put any runs on the board. The long ball was Correa's second across four contests since returning from a concussion May 23. He's gone deep just four times through 45 games this season, though, after slugging 14 homers over 86 regular-season contests last year.
May 24 2025Correa isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa went 2-for-4 with a homer and two runs scored in his return from the injured list Friday, but the Twins will keep him on the bench Saturday to ease him back into action from his concussion. Brooks Lee will get the nod at shortstop and bat third.
May 23 2025Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 3-1 win over the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa made an immediate impact in his return from the injured list, smashing his third home run of the year after recovering from a concussion. The 30-year-old infielder is swinging a hot bat over his last 18 outings, during which he's batting .338 (23-for-68) with two homers, two doubles, nine RBI and nine runs scored. Correa may not offer much speed for fantasy managers, but he does present slugging upside at the shortstop position.
May 22 2025The Twins are expected to activate Correa from the 7-day concussion injured list Friday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: There was no corresponding move announced with Ryan Fitzgerald's demotion to Triple-A St. Paul, pointing to Correa being ready to roll on the first day he's eligible to be activated. He's missed the past week of action after experiencing concussion symptoms as a result of a collision with teammate Byron Buxton, but Correa's symptoms have dissipated and he will skip a rehab assignment and go directly back onto the Twins' active roster.
May 21 2025Twins head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta said Wednesday that Correa's concussion symptoms are improving, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Both Correa and Byron Buxton landed on the 7-day concussion injured list after the two were involved in an on-field collision May 15. Correa is farther along of the two in his recovery, although the Twins haven't offered up a timetable for his return. He is eligible for activation Friday.
May 16 2025The Twins placed Correa on the 7-day concussion injured list Friday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa entered concussion protocol after colliding with Byron Buxton (head) in the outfield during Thursday's game against Baltimore. He'll now be out for at least the next seven days, and the earliest he could return is May 23 against the Royals. The Twins promoted Ryan Fitzgerald from Triple-A St. Paul, and he could see some work in the infield behind Brooks Lee for as long as Correa is sidelined.
May 15 2025Correa is in concussion protocol after exiting Thursday's game versus the Orioles following a collision with teammate Byron Buxton, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was backpedaling as he chased a pop-up in the third inning and his head snapped back violently after he collided with Buxton. The shortstop immediately left the game and Buxton -- who is also in concussion protocol -- was eventually pulled. The Twins could have more on the status of both players after the contest.
May 14 2025Correa is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa will receive some routine maintenance after he played nine innings at shortstop and went 2-for-4 with a run scored in the Twins' 6-3 victory in the first game of the day. Brooks Lee will get the nod at shortstop for Game 2.
May 11 2025Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Twins' initial lineup included Correa, but the team has elected to give the 30-year-old his first day off since April 16 instead. With Correa on the bench, Brooks Lee will slide over to shortstop and Kody Clemens will enter the lineup at second base.
May 6 2025Correa went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and an RBI single in Tuesday's 9-1 win over Baltimore. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa gave the Twins a 5-0 lead in the third inning, when he took Cade Povich deep to left-center field for a two-run blast. Correa added an RBI single in the seventh frame and finished with a season-high three RBI in the blowout win. He has recorded at least two hits in six of his last 10 games, and over that span he has gone 15-for-43 (.349 average) with six runs scored, one home run and six RBI.
Apr 18 2025Correa (wrist) is starting at shortstop and batting fifth against Atlanta on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa tweaked his left wrist against the Mets on Tuesday. He underwent an MRI and missed Wednesday's contest, but the injury doesn't appear to be of much concern, as he's back in the lineup for Friday's series opener. Correa is slashing .164/.227/.246 with five walks, five runs scored and four RBI through 66 plate appearances to begin the season.
Apr 16 2025Twins manager Rocco Baldelli indicated that Correa (wrist) could be available off the bench Wednesday versus the Mets, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: There's no word yet on the results of the MRI on Correa's left wrist, but the fact that he might be available to enter mid-game suggests Baldelli isn't overly concerned about his shortstop's health. Correa was lifted for a pinch hitter in Tuesday's contest with soreness in his wrist after fouling off a pitch. Consider him day-to-day.
Apr 15 2025Correa, who left Tuesday's game with a sore left wrist, is set for an MRI, MLB.com reports. "The wrist is something I've been working on since spring," Correa said. "Just strengthening it, and I just felt a tweak on the swing and miss and then when I hit the foul ball, I felt pain in the area. But [I'll] get it checked out, get an MRI tomorrow. It shouldn't be anything too serious." ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa appears unlikely to play in Wednesday's day game due to the injury. It's also worrisome that he said his wrist has bothered him since last season. However, more will be known about his status after the MRI results are disclosed.
Apr 13 2025Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa will retreat to the bench for the first time all season after drawing 15 consecutive starts. Willi Castro will fill in at shortstop for Correa, who should be back in the lineup for the Twins' next game Monday against the Mets.
Apr 2 2025Correa went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's victory over the White Sox. He ended an 0-for-18 streak to begin the season. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa had been hitting the ball hard his first four games but came up empty before Tuesday. He looks back on track but more importantly is healthy after playing just 86 games last season due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot.
Mar 7 2025Correa went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's spring training tie with Tampa Bay. He's hitting .063 (1-for-16) in six games this spring. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While he'd like to have a better start to the spring at the plate, Correa has looked healthy at shortstop after playing just 86 games last season due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Correa hit .308 with a .896 OPS in the first half and was named to the AL All-Star team before his foot issues, so he could have a bounce-back season if he can stay on the field.
Jan 26 2025Correa declared himself ready for spring training Saturday after spending the first part of the offseason rehabbing from plantar fasciitis in his right foot, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old played through the injury during the final weeks of the regular season, but he indicated his recovery and rehab this winter was "more natural" than the previous offseason, when he was working back from plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Correa had a .905 OPS in 2024 but was limited to 86 games due to the injury, and his durability remains a concern heading into 2025.
Nov 9 2024Correa's recovery from plantar fasciitis in his right foot is progressing ahead of his recovery from the same problem in his left foot last offseason, Twins president of baseball operations Derek Falvey told The Athletic. "He's tracking in a positive direction. He's got good plans for how he's going to handle it therapeutically and I think he's in a good place," said Falvey. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was sidelined with plantar fasciitis in his right foot from just before the All-Star break until Sept. 14. He was able to play 11 games in September in which he showed little rust despite no minor-league rehab games, hitting .325 with a .960 OPS. He was clearly not moving at full speed, but the rest and rehab in the offseason should have him ready for spring training. After he struggled with plantar fasciitis in his left foot during the 2023 season that limited him at at the plate, the health of his feet will be something to watch in spring training.
Sep 29 2024Correa is not in Sunday's lineup against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa also got Saturday's game off after the Twins were eliminated from the playoff picture. Brooks Lee will start at shortstop and bat third.
Sep 28 2024Correa isn't in the Twins' lineup for Saturday's game versus Baltimore. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa will get a day off Saturday after slashing .316/.458/.474 with a homer and seven RBI over his last 10 games. Brooks Lee will take over as the Twins' shortstop and bat third in Correa's stead.
Sep 18 2024Correa went 3-for-5 with four RBI in an extra-inning loss to the Guardians on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All three of Correa's hits were singles, but they collectively resulted in three Twins runs. The shortstop added another RBI with a first-inning fielder's choice, so all four of Minnesota's runs came on plays off his bat. Correa has gone 5-for-10 with two walks in three contests since returning from the injured list Sept. 14.
Sep 17 2024Correa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa has started every other game since returning from the injured list Saturday, as the Twins clearly don't want to overload him as he comes back from a two-month absence due to plantar fasciitis. Brooks Lee will be at shortstop Tuesday as Minnesota looks to even the series.
Sep 15 2024Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran shortstop went 1-for-2 with a double Saturday in his return from a two-month absence due to plantar fasciitis, and he'll head to the bench Sunday for the early afternoon series finale. Correa didn't play in any rehab games prior to being reinstated from the injured list, so it won't be surprising if the Twins continue to get him regular rest days as he gets back up to speed.
Sep 14 2024The Twins reinstated Correa (heel) from the 10-day injured list Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Plantar fasciitis in Correa's right foot has kept him out of action since the All-Star break, but he began making significant progress in his recovery after beginning a new treatment earlier this month and has now been cleared to return to the active roster. The 29-year-old infielder didn't appear in any rehab games before being reinstated, so there's a chance he shows a bit of rust during his first several games back, but he still figures to remain productive after slashing .308/.377/.520 through 316 plate appearances prior to his injury. DaShawn Keirsey was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.
Sep 13 2024Correa (plantar fasciitis) will be activated from the injured list before Saturday's game, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa has been taking live batting practice against minor league pitchers and working in the field the past few days. He's been sidelined since the All-Star break due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He'll likely return to starting at shortstop and may be rusty at the plate from his extended time off. However, it's a good sign for the Twins who could use a healthy Correa to ensure they make the playoffs and for the postseason.
Sep 9 2024Correa said Monday that he's "very encouraged" with his progress after beginning a new type of treatment for the plantar fasciitis in his right foot five days ago, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa has sprinted three of the last four days and has come out of the workouts feeling better than he has in a long time. The shortstop believes he could be ready to play in games soon, though he's without a clear timeline to do so. Correa has been sidelined since the All-Star break.
Sep 8 2024Correa (heel) says he expects to play again this season but can't put a timetable on his return, Ken Rosenthal reports. Correa said over the weekend he felt the best he has running since landing on the injured list in July. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: There are no immediate plans for him to go on a rehab assignment, so he'll likely be out at least another week. While Correa is optimistic, he's running out of time to play in a rehab assignment and get ready for the final games of the regular season or playoffs.
Aug 24 2024Correa (heel) will not return by the end of the month as he hasn't been able to run with spikes on or at full speed, but did run at 80% intensity for 30 yards in regular shoes before Friday's game, Bobby Nightengale of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was placed on the IL on July 20 due to right plantar fasciitis. The Twins weren't initially expecting him to miss much time, but Correa's return date keeps getting pushed back while he's continued to deal with soreness after running. He at least is making slow progress as he was able to increase his intensity Friday. He may not return until sometime in September as a result.
Aug 20 2024Correa (heel) ran Tuesday and has been hitting and fielding, but there's still no timetable for his return, Phil Miller of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports. "He's still having some discomfort. As cliché as it sounds, it's truly day-to-day on how he's going to feel and what we can do with him," said Twins head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was placed on the 10-day injured list July 20 due to right plantar fasciitis. It initially didn't appear he would be out long, but he still has soreness after running. He may not return until some time in September as a result.
Aug 16 2024Correa (heel) ran full speed for the first time in a week Thursday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "We need to get him to where he's comfortable running on a daily basis, not having soreness the next day," said Twins head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was placed on the 10-day injured list July 20 due to right plantar fasciitis. It initially didn't appear he would be out long, but he still experienced pain in his heel in early August when jogging. It sounds like he's ramped up his activity in recent days, but there's still no timetable for when he may begin a rehab assignment.
Aug 10 2024Correa (heel) is sprinting on the field and is feeling better, but won't go on a rehab assignment until he sees how his foot responds to increased activity, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was placed on the 10-day injured list July 20 due to right plantar fasciitis. It initially didn't appear he would be out long, but he still experienced pain in his heel in early August when jogging. Correa will likely go on a short rehab assignment when he's ready to play again.
Aug 7 2024Correa (heel) is unlikely to join the Twins during their four-game series against the Cleveland Guardians that begins Friday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "He's ramping up his running right now," said Twins manager Rocco Baldelli. "He's not sprinting yet. When he's able to sprint and run the way he needs to, he's going to go on a rehab assignment and go get some at-bats. Then he'll be on his way back at that point. He has not hit that point yet." ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa did some jogging last weekend and appeared to be on track for a rehab assignment, but experienced some pain in the plantar fasciitis in his right heel. Since he hasn't started running at full speed, it sounds like he could still be out several more weeks.
Aug 3 2024Correa (heel) jogged and participated in fielding drills Saturday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Although the plantar fasciitis in Correa's right heel has lingered longer than initially expected, he said Saturday that he has started to feel much better over the past few days. Once he's able to sprint without any pain, he will head on a minor-league rehab assignment, though the Twins haven't yet provided an estimate for when that may commence.
Jul 28 2024Correa (heel) participated in limited hitting drills Saturday and worked out on a treadmill, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. He could soon progress to running on the field. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was placed on the 10-day injured list July 20 due to right plantar fasciitis. He had been wearing a boot on his right foot, so he's making progress. It sounds like he could still be a week or more away from starting a rehab assignment.
Jul 22 2024Correa (heel) was wearing a walking boot in the clubhouse before Monday's game against the Phillies, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to right plantar fasciitis, and he noted that he'll be in the walking boot for at least a few more days. The shortstop also said he wasn't sure he'll begin baseball activities immediately after shedding the boot, and he's hopeful he won't miss more than another week or two, per Park. The club could have an updated timetable for Correa's return later in the week.
Jul 20 2024Correa (heel) was placed on the 10-day injured list with right plantar fasciitis Saturday, retroactive to July 16. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa missed the Twins' final two games before the All-Star break with a heel injury, but it wasn't considered to be particularly serious at the time. He will now be forced to miss at least the the next 10 games, but plantar fasciitis can be a very tricky situation, so it's unclear if the shortstop will be able to return when first eligible. Correa had been on a tear since the beginning of June, batting .360 with nine home runs, 28 RBI and 29 runs scored over 36 contests, so his absence is a tough pill to swallow for fantasy managers. In a corresponding move, Edouard Julien was called up from Triple-A St. Paul.
Jul 16 2024Correa (heel) was removed Monday from the American League All-Star Game roster and was replaced by the Rangers' Corey Seager, the Associated Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though Correa is still expected to attend All-Star festivities in Arlington, Texas this week, his removal from the roster comes as little surprise after he missed the Twins' final two games before the break due to plantar fasciitis in his right heel. Dan Hayes of The Athletic relays that Correa's latest case of plantar fasciitis isn't as severe as his bout with the injury to his left foot during 2023 season, but it's not yet clear whether Correa will be back in action when the Twins return to action Saturday versus the Brewers.
Jul 14 2024Twins 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 13 2024Correa 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 10 2024Correa went 4-for-7 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's doubleheader against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 3-for-4 in the matinee, Correa launched a solo home run off Drew Thorpe in the nightcap, tying the game 2-2. The 29-year-old shortstop now has at least one hit in 12 of his last 13 games, going 17-for-46 (.370) with five home runs in that span. With his current hot streak, Correa's boosted his slash line to .310/.379/.526 with 13 homers, 47 RBI and 50 runs scored through 312 plate appearances this season.
Jul 8 2024Correa (finger) will start at shortstop and bat second in Monday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 7 2024Correa (finger) expects to be in the lineup Monday versus the White Sox, Audra Martin of Bally Sports North reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa exited Sunday's 3-2 win over Houston with a bruised right finger in the first inning, but he explained to Martin after the game that he doesn't expect the injury to sideline him moving forward. The shortstop will look to bring his expectation to fruition in Monday's series opener on the road against the White Sox.
Jul 3 2024Correa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: His eighth-inning blast deep to left-center field off Beau Brieske capped the scoring on the night. Correa has hit safely in five straight games, and since June 6 the veteran shortstop has a blistering .418/.476/.659 slash line over 103 plate appearances with six of his 10 homers on the year and 19 of his 41 RBI.
Jun 30 2024Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Seattle. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran shortstop was in the lineup the past two days after being hit by a pitch on the right wrist Thursday, but he'll receive a day off for Sunday's series finale. Correa didn't appear to be affected by the injury as he went 3-for-8with a two-run homer and an additional run scored in the first two games of the series.
Jun 28 2024Correa went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa left Thursday's game with a bruised right wrist, but he didn't end up missing time. The homer was his ninth of the season and got him to the 40-RBI mark this year, though it was all the run production the Twins could muster in Friday's game. The shortstop has 12 multi-hit efforts over his last 21 games, going 36-for-83 (.434) in that span. For the year, he's at a .312/.381/.506 slash line across 64 contests.
Jun 27 2024Correa (wrist) anticipates that he will be in the lineup Friday against the Mariners, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was hit in the wrist by a pitch Thursday in the seventh inning and immediately left the game. X-rays came back clean, and he told reporters after the game that he's confident he'll be in the lineup to start the Twins' series against Seattle on Friday. There has not been confirmation from the team the Correa will start.
Jun 20 2024Correa is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After seeing his nine-game hitting streak come to an end with an 0-for-5 performance in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning loss, Correa will get a breather for the series finale with Tampa Bay. Kyle Farmer will spell him at shortstop Thursday.
Jun 16 2024Correa went 5-for-10 with two home runs and four RBI as the Twins swept Sunday's doubleheader versus the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa played a massive role in winning Game 1 -- he opened the scoring with a two-run homer in the first inning and added a solo shot in the fourth. He was steady again in Game 2, though without the same level of power on display. The shortstop has eight multi-hit efforts over his last 11 contests, going a stunning 24-for-47 (.511) in that span. He was hitting .247 the game before the surge started, but he's up to .308 now with an .878 OPS, eight homers, 35 RBI, 34 runs scored and no stolen bases through 54 contests this season.
Jun 14 2024Correa went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run and an additional RBI in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa gave the Twins their first lead with a run-scoring single in the third inning and capped the scoring in the contest with a two-run homer to left field in the seventh. The veteran shortstop finished with his sixth multi-hit performance over his past eight contests, and he's slashing a jaw-dropping .545/.568/.758 with two homers, eight runs and nine RBI over that span. The hot stretch has pushed Correa's season slash line to .299/.363/.481, and he has six long balls, 31 RBI and 30 runs through 212 plate appearances.
Jun 12 2024Correa went 5-for-6 with three runs scored and an RBI in Wednesday's 17-9 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa's first career five-hit game is the highlight of what's been a stellar run at the plate -- he's now 15-for-29 (.517) with a double and a home run over his last seven contests. The 29-year-old Correa is now slashing .290/.356/.459 with five homers, 28 RBI and 28 runs scored across 208 plate appearances this season.
Jun 9 2024Correa went 3-for-5 with a walk, two runs scored and two RBI in Sunday's 11-5 win over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa plated two on a 10th-inning single, scoring later in the frame to cap off a seven-run inning for the Twins. The 29-year-old notched his third multi-hit effort over his past four games, reaching base four times in Sunday's win. Correa owns a solid .265/.335/.441 slash line, but he has provided limited power with just five home runs and 26 RBI in 47 games played.
Jun 6 2024Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Thursday's loss to the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa got Minnesota off to a fast start with a solo shot off Marcus Stroman in the first inning. He added a sacrifice fly in the fifth to give him consecutive multi-RBI performances. Though Correa is batting just .217 (5-for-23) over his past six games, he's knocked in a hearty nine runs over that stretch.
Jun 2 2024Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Houston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll sit out the series finale against his former club in what looks to be little more than a maintenance day. Willi Castro will fill in at shortstop for Correa, who had started in each of the Twins' last 21 games.
May 23 2024Correa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa extended Minnesota's lead to 2-0 with two outs in the sixth inning with a solo shot off Jake Irvin, his fourth of the year and second in three days. The 29-year-old Correa has a hit in five straight games, going 5-for-17 with a 1.133 OPS in that span. He's now slashing .268/.362/.455 on the season with 13 RBI and 18 runs scored through 130 plate appearances.
May 9 2024Correa is out of the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa is getting a routine day off after he had started in all nine games for the Twins since he returned from the injured list April 29. Willi Castro will step in at shortstop in place of Correa, who popped a solo home run -- his second of the season -- in Wednesday's 6-3 win.
Apr 29 2024The Twins reinstated Correa (intercostal) from the 10-day injured list Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa ended up spending about two and a half weeks on the IL after being deactivated April 13 with a right intercostal strain. Though he wasn't sent out on a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated, Correa should immediately take back an everyday role at shortstop as he rejoins the active roster ahead of Monday's series opener versus the White Sox. Outfielder Austin Martin was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.
Apr 24 2024Correa (oblique) said Wednesday he could return during the Twins' upcoming road trip, which begins Friday against the Angels and runs through next Wednesday against the White Sox, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa did some glove work and took swings Wednesday as he ramps up his baseball activities, and there's a chance he returns from the injured list without a minor-league rehab assignment. The star shortstop's progress over the next few days should provide a better indication of whether a rehab stint will be necessary.
Apr 20 2024Correa (right intercostal strain) is scheduled to begin baseball activities next week, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "His symptoms are improving dramatically from where we were," said Twins head trainer Nick Paparesta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was placed on the injured list April 13 with the intercostal strain and it was described as mild. There isn't a timetable for his return, but it's a good sign he's making progress. With Correa out, Willi Castro has been the primary shortstop for the Twins.
Apr 13 2024The Twins have reclassified Correa's injury as a mild right intercostal strain, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was placed on the injured list earlier Saturday with what had been called an oblique strain, but the team has now altered the diagnosis based on additional imaging results. That it's being referred to as a mild strain is a positive development, although a timetable for Correa's return isn't expected to be known until late next week. With Correa out, Willi Castro started both games at shortstop during the Twins' doubleheader sweep of the Tigers on Saturday.
Apr 12 2024Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Friday that he expects Correa (side) to land on the injured list, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa had to exit Friday's loss to the Tigers early after suffering a right oblique strain during his at-bat in the third inning. The Twins will likely hold off on making any decisions until the infielder's MRI results come back, but Baldelli's words suggest Correa's odds of avoiding the IL are slim. Willi Castro entered Friday's game as the replacement shortstop and will likely remain there while Correa is out, opening up third base for Kyle Farmer or Jose Miranda.
Apr 5 2024Correa went 3-for-4 with a double in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa had gone just 1-for-11 in his previous four games after racking up three hits Opening Day. With three more hits Thursday, Correa's now slashing a healthy .368/.520/.474 with a pair of doubles, three runs scored and three RBI through 25 plate appearances.
Mar 28 2024Correa went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a walk in Thursday's Opening Day win at Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa played through plantar fasciitis in his left foot for most of last season but was pain-free in spring training. After one game it looks like full health could result in a bounce-back season. Correa slashed just .230/.312/.399 with 18 home runs and 65 RBI in 580 plate appearances last season.
Mar 3 2024Correa went 2-for-3 in Sunday's spring training tie with Tampa Bay. He's hitting .429 (3-for-7) through three spring games. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa played through plantar fasciitis in his left foot for most of last season but said he was pain-free as spring training began, and he's looked sharp in the field. Correa slashed just .230/.312/.399 with 18 home runs and 65 RBI in 580 plate appearances last season while battling through a nagging foot issue starting in mid-May, so he could bounce back simply by avoiding re-injury.
Jan 29 2024Correa said over the weekend at the TwinsFest fan event that he "started turning the curve" with the recovery from his left foot injury in mid- to late-December, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa played through plantar fasciitis in his foot for the bulk of the 2023 season and didn't do any running or sprinting early on in the offseason. He admitted that the recovery "took longer than expected," but he's running, sprinting and hitting without issue now and has declared himself ready to go for spring training. Correa slashed just .230/.312/.399 with 18 home runs and 65 RBIs in 580 plate appearances last season while battling through the nagging foot issue starting in mid-May. Plantar fasciitis is an injury that can flare up again, which is worrisome, but Correa should be in line for a bounce-back 2024 campaign if he can stay healthy.
Oct 8 2023Correa went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and one walk in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Astros in Game 2 of the ALDS. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The star shortstop was an RBI machine in this contest, accounting for half of his team's runs to help tie the series. Correa was preparing himself for a postseason mentality at the end of the regular season, finishing the year with an .840 OPS across 15 games in September, his best mark of any month. That success has translated into October, as he now is slashing .533/.588/.733 across four games this postseason and has also contributed four RBI.
Oct 7 2023Correa (hand) is in Minnesota's lineup for Game 1 of the ALDS against the Astros, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa didn't seem to be too concerned after getting hit in the hand by a pitch toward the end of Game 2 of the AL Wild Card Series, and he's officially good to go Saturday. Correa went 3-for-7 with an RBI during the wild-card round and will look to maintain his momentum heading into a series against his former team.
Oct 4 2023X-rays on Correa's right hand came back negative after he was hit by a pitch during Wednesday's game against Toronto, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was able to remain the game after taking a 99-mph Jordan Romano fastball off his hand in the eighth inning. Correa said after the game that he's "good to go," so it seems likely he'll be able to suit up for Minnesota's AL Divisional Series matchup against Houston.
Oct 2 2023Correa (foot) told reporters Monday that he's ready to go for the American League Wild Card Series against the Blue Jays, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa hasn't played for the Twins in two weeks due to a flare-up with the plantar fasciitis in his left foot. He's been participating in simulated games in Minneapolis, though, and says his foot is feeling better. Correa batted only .230/.312/.399 for Minnesota this season while battling through the nagging foot issue, but he's certainly capable of providing a big boost in the playoffs, if healthy.
Sep 28 2023Correa (foot) will not rejoin the Twins before the end of the regular season, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The original plan had been for Correa to travel with the Twins to Colorado for their final series of the regular season. However, the decision has been made for him to stay back and participate in simulated games instead. It is not being viewed as a setback, as Correa still appears in line to play in Game 1 of the Wild Card round next week. The veteran shortstop has been plagued by plantar fasciitis and will finish the 2023 season having slashed a disappointing .230/.312/.399 with 18 home runs over 135 games.
Sep 20 2023Correa (plantar fasciitis) is expected to return from the injured list when first eligible Sept. 29 in Coors Field, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: An MRI taken of Correa's left foot showed a full thickness tear of the central cortex of his plantar fascia, per Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. That sounds scary but is actually a good thing, as the hope is that it will alleviate the discomfort he's been feeling and he can make it back after a minimum stay on the IL. Royce Lewis (hamstring) could also end up on the shelf after a scheduled MRI this weekend, so Kyle Farmer will play roughly every day and Willi Castro will be used more in the infield.
Sep 19 2023Correa, who is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Reds, underwent an MRI on his left foot earlier in the day, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.comreports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old has played through plantar fasciitis in his left foot throughout the season, and the issue flared up during Monday's loss to Cincinnati. Bench coach Jayce Tingler said the team is approaching the injury as a day-to-day concern and noted that Correa has typically been able to return to action relatively quickly this season after aggravating the issue.
Sep 18 2023Correa was removed from Monday's game against the Reds in the second inning after re-aggravating his left plantar fasciitis, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa ran a long way to track down a fly ball in the bottom of the first inning, and he was removed in the top half of the second. The shortstop has been battling plantar fasciitis since late May, and this latest setback could force him to miss time. The team will likely re-evaluate Correa on Tuesday to determine his availability moving forward. In the meantime, look for Kyle Farmer to see opportunities at shortstop.
Sep 14 2023Correa remains out of the lineup Thursday versus the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the second straight absence for Correa, who has battled plantar fasciitis throughout the summer. He could be in for regular maintenance days down the stretch with the Twins holding a commanding lead on first place in the AL Central standings. Kyle Farmer will play shortstop and bat eighth Thursday in Chicago.
Sep 13 2023Correa is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It looks to be a rare day off for the veteran Correa after he went 1-for-8 at the plate in the first two games of the series. Kyle Farmer is at shortstop and batting ninth Wednesday.
Sep 6 2023Correa went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and an RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Guardians. He also reached base when he was struck by a pitch for the fourth time this season. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though Correa acknowledged toward the end of August that he has continued to battle plantar fasciitis in his left foot, he hasn't seemed to be affected at the plate of late. He'll head into Wednesday's series finale in Cleveland riding a five-game hitting streak, during which he's slashed .429/.478/.571 with one home run, five RBI and four runs. Correa will start at shortstop and bat fifth Wednesday.
Aug 28 2023Correa told Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic on Sunday that, since being diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in his left foot in late May, "every step is a struggle." ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: "Every step is a struggle. It's not easy to deal with," Correa said. "Out of all the things I've played with in my career, there's nothing more painful than what I've been through this year. But I'm pushing through it. If it had been a free-agent year, I probably would have sat out more time to let it heal. But I'm here to help the team win games. Just my presence, I feel I need to be out there." Correa's nagging foot issue no doubt at least partly explains his struggles this season, as he's managed just a .708 OPS through 117 games. He has been better of late with an .882 OPS across his last 18 contests and said he feels an obligation to continue playing through discomfort as the Twins try to wrap up a playoff spot.
Aug 18 2023Correa (foot) is playing shortstop and batting cleanup Friday versus the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa didn't play in Wednesday's win over the Tigers due to what the Twins simply referred to as soreness, but it's reasonable to assume it was foot-related since he's been playing through plantar fasciitis for a while. He's feeling well enough to give it a go Friday after Thursday's off day, as he and his Minnesota teammates take on Andre Jackson and the Pirates.
Aug 16 2023Correa's absence from the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers is a result of him feeling sore after he legged out an infield single in the sixth inning of Tuesday's 5-3 win, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa didn't appear to be in too much pain after he reached first on the base hit, as he was able to stay in the game and play the full nine innings. The Twins haven't provided much clarity on the source of Correa's soreness, but the injury could be related to his foot, given that he's been playing through plantar fasciitis for multiple months. Regardless, Correa isn't believed to be dealing with anything significant, and the Twins believe that after a maintenance day Wednesday followed by a team off day Thursday, the 28-year-old will be good to go for Friday's series opener versus the Pirates.
Aug 13 2023Correa isn't in the Twins' lineup Sunday against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After extending his hitting streak to eight games Saturday, Correa will get a breather for Sunday's series finale. Kyle Farmer will replace Correa at shortstop and bat seventh.
Aug 7 2023Correa went 2-for-3 with three-run homer, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 9-3 win over the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa got the best of Joey Wentz on Monday, with a run-scoring double in the first inning and an opposite-field three-run shot in the second. Correa snapped a 16-game homer drought, during which he hit just .154 (10-for-65) with six RBI and three runs scored. On the season, the 28-year-old shortstop is now slashing .224/.297/.458 with 13 homers, 52 RBI and 41 runs scored through 102 games.
Jul 20 2023Correa is not in Thursday's lineup against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Several Twins regulars are getting the day off against righty George Kirby. Correa is slashing .298/.365/.421 with one home run, nine runs and five RBI in 14 games this month. Kyle Farmer is starting at shortstop and batting eighth.
Jul 18 2023Correa went 2-for-6 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa tacked on the Twins' last run of the game with his ninth-inning solo shot. The shortstop had gone 16 games without a homer, though he hit .281 (18-for-64) over that span, showing an overall improvement in his batting. For the season, he's at a .234/.309/.416 slash line with 12 homers, 42 RBI, 36 runs scored, 20 doubles and two triples through 85 contests.
Jul 3 2023Correa went 4-for-5 with a double, a run and an RBI in Monday's 8-4 win against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa batted out of the leadoff spot for the fourth straight game and was a catalyst for the offense with his 12th career four-hit performance. It's a small sample size, but since moving atop the batting order, Correa has gone 8-for-17 with three runs and has boosted his season batting average by 16 points to .228. Given that success, it wouldn't be surprising if he remains in the leadoff spot for the foreseeable future.
Jun 28 2023Correa is not in Wednesday's lineup against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa is hitting .216 with five home runs and 24 strikeouts in 22 games this month. Kyle Farmer will start at shortstop and hit cleanup against lefty Kolby Allard.
Jun 24 2023Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa got the Twins on the board with his sixth-inning solo shot, which was his second long ball in the last three games. The shortstop has hit safely in six of his last seven contests, going 8-for-27 (.296) in that span. He's had a fairly solid June, but he's still hitting just .220 with a .718 OPS, 11 homers, 37 RBI, 23 runs scored, no stolen bases, 15 doubles and two triples through 68 games this season. Five of his homers have come this month.
Jun 14 2023Correa went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The shortstop crushed a Devin Williams changeup to left field in the ninth inning for a two-run homer -- the first regular-season walk-off home run of Correa's career, although he does have two in the playoffs. The 28-year-old is catching fire in June, homering three times in the last five games and batting .276 (8-for-29) with eight RBI over seven contests since returning from a three-game absence to deal with plantar fasciitis in his left heel.
Jun 10 2023Correa went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the Twins down 3-1 in the eighth inning, the shortstop clubbed a slider from Adam Cimber into the left-field seats to put his team in the lead for good. Correa has gone yard twice in the last three games, giving him eight homers on the season, but he continues to have trouble building any real momentum at the plate -- over his last 10 games. he's batting just .194 (7-for-36)
Jun 8 2023Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 6 2023Correa (heel) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 4 2023Correa (heel) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 3 2023Corres (heel) remains sidelined Saturday against the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 2 2023Correa (heel) isn't starting Friday against the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa aggravated the plantar fasciitis in his left heel during Thursday's contest, but the good news is it seems he could return as soon as Saturday, per Dan Hayes of The Athletic. In the meantime, Kyle Farmer will start at shortstop Friday and bat eighth.
Jun 1 2023Correa aggravated the plantar fasciitis in his left heel during Thursday's game against Cleveland, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 31 2023Correa is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa had played the last three contests after missing a little time with a heel issue and plantar fasciitis, but he'll take a seat for this one. Kyle Farmer is playing shortstop in Wednesday's series finale.
May 29 2023Correa went 1-for-4 in his return to Sunday's lineup against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 28 2023Correa will start at shortstop and bat third in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 27 2023Correa is not in the starting lineup Saturday against Toronto. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa made his return to the lineup Friday after missing a few games with foot and heel discomfort, which is now understood to be plantar fasciitis. The 28-year-old went 1-for-3 with two walks in Friday's 3-1 loss and will be replaced at shortstop by Kyle Farmer, who will bat eighth versus the Blue Jays.
May 26 2023Correa (foot/heel) is in the Twins' lineup Friday versus the Blue Jays, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa has been sidelined for much of this week due to foot and heel discomfort, but he tested it all out during a pregame workout and felt good enough to give it a go in the series opener against Toronto. Given the diagnosis here -- plantar fasciitis along with a muscle strain in the arch of his left foot -- more days off for rest and treatment should be expected even as Correa thankfully manages to avoid the injured list.
May 24 2023Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said prior to Wednesday's game against the Giants that Correa is dealing with a muscle strain in the arch of his left foot in addition to plantar fasciitis in his heel, John Shipley of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "I think we get to Friday and some of our decisions might be made for us," Baldelli said, when asked if Correa would require a stint on the 10-day injured list. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After undergoing an MRI on Tuesday, Correa was revealed to be dealing with bruising and inflammation to the heel, but Baldelli's latest update suggests the veteran shortstop's injury could be more serious. Correa is out of the lineup for the second day in a row Wednesday, and the Twins still seem to be holding out hope that the 28-year-old can show enough improvement coming out of Thursday's off day to avoid the IL. Kyle Farmer is filling in at shortstop Wednesday and would be the primary option to pick up starts at the position if Correa requires a shutdown of any length of time.
May 23 2023An MRI on Correa's bruised left heel showed inflammation and he's unlikely to play Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was scratched from the lineup Tuesday due to the issue. With an off day Thursday, Correa would get three days off if he sits out Wednesday's game. Kyle Farmer started at shortstop in Tuesday's game and will likely stay at the position until Correa returns.
May 15 2023Correa went 2-for-5 with one double, two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After a slow start to the season (hitting .185 with a .624 OPS through his first 32 games), Correa is hitting .333 (7-for-21) with a home run and four doubles over his last five games. He has a 1.058 OPS over that span.
May 14 2023Correa went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 11-1 rout of the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He piled up his production after the game was well in hand, connecting on a solo shot in the seventh inning and a two-run single in the eighth. Correa is showing signs of life at the plate -- he's cracked an extra-base hit in four straight games and has three of his six homers on the season in May, along with 11 of his 21 RBI -- but through 11 contests on the month he's still batting just .196 (9-for-46).
May 11 2023Correa went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Thursday's 5-3 victory over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa has had a slow start to the season as he's hitting just .191 with a .646 OPS. He came through with a key double late in the game to give the Twins the lead, so perhaps it's a sign he's set to break out of his slump. He's drawing walks (10.6 BB%) and striking out (21 K%) at similar rates to his career averages, so he may be just a bit unlucky so far with a .204 BABIP.
Apr 28 2023Correa went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Thursday's 7-1 win over Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa's 421-foot shot in the fourth inning extended Minnesota's lead to 7-1. The star shortstop still has some work to do to get back to his normal standard, as he's slashing just .205/.280/.373 to start off the year.
Mar 14 2023Correa (personal) returned to Twins camp Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was away for a few days to be with his newborn son. He expects to return to Grapefruit League action Friday. Correa is 3-for-9 with one walk in four games so far this spring.
Mar 9 2023Correa has left Twins camp in preparation for the birth of his second son, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa figures to be away for a handful of days to take care of more important business before returning to camp. He's 3-for-9 with a walk and two strikeouts so far during Grapefruit League play.
Feb 28 2023Correa is set to make his Grapefruit League debut Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The condition of Correa's ankle was a major topic of conversation this offseason, but he reported to camp healthy and with no limitations. Him not playing in the Twins' first five games seems to be more about getting the veteran treatment and easing into things. Correa is expected to leave camp for a bit at some point in March with his wife due to give birth to the couple's second child soon.
Feb 6 2023Correa will not play for Team Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa's wife is due with the couple's second child at the same time the WBC will take place, and Hayes reports the Twins don't want the shortstop to be juggling both family and the tournament. Correa re-signed with the Twins after a tumultuous offseason that saw proposed contracts with the Giants and Mets rescinded because of concerns during his physical, and he'll spend the 2023 spring training in the Grapefruit League.
Jan 11 2023Correa passed his physical, and the Twins are expected to officially announce his signing to a six-year, $200 million contract later Wednesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For most free agents who come to terms with teams on a contract, the physical exam is usually a formality, but Correa's ability to pass his medical tests is noteworthy after he previously had deals with the Giants and Mets fall through earlier this winter due to reported concern about a previous surgery he had back in 2014 to address a fractured right fibula. Given that the Twins had a chance to get an extended evaluation while Correa played for the team on a one-year, $35.1 million deal last season, they were evidently more comfortable than the Giants or Mets in handing the 28-year-old shortstop a lavish new contract. Though Correa is guaranteed $200 million in the deal through the 2028 season, his contract contains playing time-based vesting options from the 2029 through 2032 seasons that could net him up to an additional $70 million.
Jan 10 2023Correa agreed to a six-year, $200 million deal with the Twins on Tuesday, pending a physical, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The "pending a physical" part of this news carries far more weight than it does for most similar announcements, as Correa has already agreed to deals with both the Giants and Mets this winter, only for both two fall through following a medical examination. The Twins are presumably more comfortable with Correa's medicals, having just seen him up close for a full season, and they're also only on the hook through the shortstop's age-33 season. If Correa's troublesome ankle doesn't turn out to be an issue, he could remain a Twin for another decade, as the contract also contains a vesting option for a further four years.
Jan 3 2023Correa and the Mets are slated to resume contract negotiations soon, Dan Martin of The New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The two sides agreed to hit pause on talks over the holidays but are ready to start things up again now that we've reached the new year. At issue, of course, is the condition of Correa's surgically-repaired right ankle, an old injury which was flagged during physicals with the Giants and then the Mets. There seems to be optimism that the Mets and Correa will be able to work something out, although it's far from a guarantee. Hopefully we should have a resolution one way or another this week.
Dec 26 2022The Mets have yet to formally announce Correa's signing after an issue cropped up during the star infielder's physical exam Thursday and Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: According to Heyman, the holdup in making Correa's 12-year, $315 million deal official is concern about the right ankle he had surgically repaired in 2014. The ankle issue is what originally prompted the Giants to back off from signing Correa to a previously agreed-upon 13-year, $350 million deal last week, which allowed the Mets to swoop in and come to terms with the 28-year-old. Though another team could theoretically re-enter negotiations with Correa, both his camp and the Mets are optimistic that a contract will be finalized coming out of the holiday. Assuming Correa ultimately puts pen to paper on a deal, he'll be installed as the Mets' everyday third baseman, allowing Francisco Lindor to continue playing shortstop.
Dec 21 2022Correa agreed Wednesday with the Mets on a 12-year, $315 million contract after his previous deal with the Giants fell through due to an unspecified issue that arose during his physical, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A week ago, Correa and the Giants came to terms on a 13-year, $350 million contract that was expected to be formally announced Tuesday, but San Francisco elected to postpone the signing due to the medical concern. Because that deal with the Giants was never finalized, the Mets were able to swoop in and quickly come to terms with Correa, who loses an extra year and $35 million in the new pact yet still becomes the seventh player in MLB history to sign a free-agent contract worth north of $300 million. With two-time Gold Glove Award winner Francisco Lindor entrenched as the Mets' everyday shortstop, Correa has agreed to play third base and should quickly gain eligibility at the position early in the 2023 season. Correa won't benefit from much of an upgrade with the change from San Francisco's Oracle Park to New York's Citi Field since both ballparks have historically skewed more pitcher-friendly, but the 28-year-old should see a boost in his run and RBI projections while batting in the heart of a Mets lineup that would seem to be much stronger than the Giants', at least on paper.
Dec 20 2022Correa's arrival press conference was put on hold Tuesday after a medical concern emerged during his physical, Ronald Blum of The Associated Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa and the Giants agreed to a 13-year, $350 million deal last Tuesday, but the contract, like all contracts, was pending a physical. Correa's physical has indeed turned something up, though whether or not the issue is serious enough to cancel the deal or force the shortstop to accept reduced terms is not yet clear. Correa hasn't been a picture of health throughout his big-league career, landing on the injured list seven times in eight seasons, though he's appeared in 89 percent of his team's games over the last three seasons.
Dec 13 2022Correa agreed to a 13-year, $350 million contract with the Giants on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old turned down his $35.1 million player option with Minnesota for 2023 and cashed in on a megadeal with San Francisco. Correa had a .291/.366/.467 slash line with 22 home runs, 64 RBI and 70 runs in 136 games last season, which was good for a 140 wRC+. The deal includes no opt-out clause and full no-trade protection, per Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, so Correa will be in the Bay Area through the 2035 campaign, unless he approves of a potential trade destination.
Nov 7 2022Correa declined his $35.1 million player option for 2023 on Monday and has entered free agency. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Last March, Correa signed a one-year, $35.1 million deal with the Twins that included player options for the same salary figures in 2023 and 2024. The player options gave Correa some extra security in the event he suffered a major injury or saw a dramatic downturn in performance, but he generally enjoyed good health in his lone season in Minnesota while slashing .291/.366/.467 with 22 home runs and 64 RBI across 590 plate appearances. The 28-year-old Correa should be one of the top players in this winter's free agency class and will likely try to secure a longer-term deal this time around.
Oct 5 2022Correa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Jermaine Palacios will fill in at shortstop while Correa gets a breather in the season finale. The 28-year-old holds a $35.1 million player option for 2023, but he may prefer to try his luck on the open market after a solid first season in Minnesota in which he hit .291 with 22 home runs, 64 RBI and 70 runs.
Oct 1 2022Correa went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's victory over the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa's two-run shot came in the seventh inning and sent Mark Contreras home. It was Correa's 22nd homer of the season, his seventh of the month, and his first since Sept. 15. The shortstop has found his stride at the end of the season, picking up hits in all but five out of 27 games in September and slashing .345/.405/.600. During the span of this month, Correa took his batting average from .269 to where it sits now at .287.
Sep 23 2022Correa isn't starting Friday against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa is in the midst of a five-game hitting streak in which he's gone 10-for-20 with a double, two RBI and a run, but he'll get a rare day off Friday. Jermaine Palacios is starting at shortstop and batting ninth.
Sep 20 2022Correa went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa drove in a pair of runs with a second-inning single. That hit put the Twins ahead 3-0, but the Royals' offense was a bit stronger over the rest of the game. Over his last 17 games, Correa has been on a tear, going 29-for-72 (.403) with 10 extra-base hits, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored. The shortstop's surge has lifted his season slash line to .288/365/.467 with 21 home runs, 60 RBI, 66 runs scored, 20 doubles and a triple through 124 contests.
Sep 15 2022Correa went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Thursday's 3-2 win over Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa gave Minnesota an early lead with a solo shot off Daniel Lynch in the first inning. He walked twice in his final three plate appearances and has reached base multiple times in six of his past eight contests. Over that stretch, Correa is batting a robust .469 with five home runs and 11 RBI.
Sep 13 2022Correa went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three total RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa found his success against Royals lefty Kris Bubic, producing an RBI double in the third inning and a two-run homer in the fifth. The homer was Correa's 20th of the year, making this the sixth time in eight seasons the shortstop has reached that level. He's done it with a power surge lately, going yard five times through 11 games in September. The 27-year-old's added 57 RBI, 62 runs scored, 19 doubles and a triple while slashing .280/.357/.463 through 116 contests.
Sep 10 2022Correa went 4-for-5 with a two-run home run for a total of four RBI and two runs scored in a 7-6 loss to the Guardians on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa hit a big two-run homer in the eighth inning, which brought the Twins to within a run of their division rivals in a game with serious playoff implications. His blast was his 19th of the season and he is on pace for achieving the sixth 20-homer season of his career. Correa has been seeing the ball very well in September and is slashing .344/.400/.781 over eight games this month.
Sep 4 2022Correa went 2-for-5 with one double, one home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's victory over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa broke the game open with a two-run homer in the fifth inning against Lucas Giolito. Correa also doubled and came around to score in the ninth to provide some insurance for the Twins. The homer was the 27-year-old's 16th on the season, and the double was his 17th. He is now slashing .270/.352/.434 in 466 plate appearances. The shortstop entered Sunday in a small 0-for-9 skid across his last three games.
Aug 27 2022Correa went 4-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa delivered a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning to get the Twins on the board. This was the shortstop's first four-hit effort of the season, his sixth of three-plus hits and his third multi-hit game in his last six contests. The big performance raised his slash line to .274/.353/.436 with 15 home runs, 43 RBI, 52 runs scored, 15 doubles and a triple through 101 games this year.
Aug 22 2022Correa went 2-for-3 with a triple and a walk in Monday's loss to the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After a mini slump where he went 3-for-20 over his last five games, Correa broke out with two hits and a walk Monday, including his first triple of the season. The multi-hit effort was his first since Aug. 14 and bumped his season-long slash up to .269/.352/.431. While the triple was just his third extra-base hit in August, his .424 SLG is lagging well behind his xSLG of .471 this season, indicating positive power regression may be coming.
Aug 13 2022Correa went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, a sacrifice fly and three walks in Saturday's 5-3 extra-innings loss to the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa did something with every plate appearance, and even his lone out of the contest led to the Twins' second run. Through 11 games in August, he's gone 10-for-37 (.270) with an 8:7 BB:K. The shortstop is up to 14 homers, 39 RBI, 48 runs scored, 15 doubles and a .268/.346/.438 slash line through 88 games this year as a fixture in the No. 2 spot in the order.
Aug 7 2022Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa will be getting his first day off since July 6 while Nick Gordon takes over at shortstop in the series finale. Dating back to the All-Star break, Correa has hit .192 with two home runs, four RBI and six additional runs while starting in all 13 of the Twins' games.
Jul 16 2022Correa went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-3 victory over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lance Lynn hung a breaking pitch in the middle of the zone and Correa did not miss. It was just Correa's second homer of July -- he entered Saturday's game with a .163/.302/.256 line across 12 games this month. However, after the two-hit effort Saturday, Correa is back up to .282/.357/.455 for the season. He has 11 home runs to go along with 33 RBI and 39 runs scored in 69 games.
Jul 8 2022Correa (leg) is starting at shortstop and batting second Friday against the Rangers, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old was held out Wednesday due to some tightness in his legs, but he will rejoin the lineup Friday following Minnesota's scheduled day off Thursday. Correa is 0-for-12 with an RBI, a run, five walks and three strikeouts over his past four games.
Jul 6 2022Correa was held out of the lineup for Wednesday's loss to the White Sox due to tightness in his legs, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's unclear when the injury first surfaced, but it could help explain his 0-for-12 run across the previous four games. Correa will now have extra time to recover since the Twins have a scheduled day off Thursday, so he may be able to rejoin the lineup for Friday's series opener at Texas.
Jun 29 2022Correa isn't in the lineup Wednesday against Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa is getting a day off after he hit .324 with four homers, a double, seven runs and six RBI over the last nine games. Jorge Polanco is shifting to shortstop while Jose Miranda enters the lineup at first base.
Jun 28 2022Correa went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in a 3-2 loss to Cleveland during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: His eighth-inning shot off Sam Hentges gave the Twins a brief 2-1 lead, but Emilio Pagan handed it right back to the Guardians in the bottom of the frame. Correa extended his hitting streak to eight games with the performance, a stretch during which he's batting .344 (11-for-32) with four of his nine homers on the year.
Jun 22 2022Correa went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Wednesday's 11-10 loss to the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa went yard in the first and third innings, but he couldn't get another hit after that. He's gone 11-for-39 (.282) in his last nine games, adding four RBI and five runs scored in that span. The star shortstop hasn't flexed as much power in his first year with the Twins -- he has seven homers and a .466 slugging percentage while adding 23 RBI, 27 runs scored and 12 doubles across 47 contests overall.
Jun 11 2022Correa is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa has gone 6-for-12 (.500) since being activated from the injured list, but he will get a day off Saturday for maintenance purposes. Nick Gordon will start at shortstop in Correa's place.
Jun 9 2022Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Yankees on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Minnesota shocked Yankees ace Gerrit Cole with three straight homers to begin the bottom of the first inning, and Correa was responsible for the last of those blasts with a long ball to left field. It was his first home run since returning from the COVID-19-related IL on Wednesday. Correa got off to a slow start this season but is batting .368 (32-for-87) with three homers and 14 RBI in 21 games since April 28.
Jun 8 2022Correa (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa tested positive for COVID-19 in late May, but he worked out at Target Field on Tuesday and will serve as the designated hitter while batting second in his return to the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees. Over his 11 games last month between IL stints, the 27-year-old hit .326 with a home run, four doubles, five runs and five RBI.
Jun 7 2022Correa (illness) was seen working out at Target Field on Tuesday and said he expects to return from the COVID-19-related injured list Wednesday, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa's presence at team facilities suggests he's cleared all COVID-19-related protocols after testing positive for the virus May 31, so at this stage, he'll just need to prove that he's feeling good from a conditioning standpoint after the week-long layoff. Assuming the Twins are satisfied with how the 27-year-old responded to Tuesday's workout, he should be back in the lineup at shortstop for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
Jun 5 2022Correa (COVID-19) could return to the lineup in the middle of next week, per manager Rocco Baldelli, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa has returned to Minnesota and has started the testing process to get cleared for a return. Baldelli said he thought Correa would need "at least a couple of days" of being on his feet and working out before he would get back in the lineup, so it sounds like he could return sometime in the series against the Yankees that runs Tuesday through Thursday.
May 31 2022The Twins placed Correa (illness) on the COVID-19-related injured list Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa's placement on the IL was fully expected after multiple reports surfaced Monday indicating that the 27-year-old tested positive for the virus. According to Dan Hayes of The Athletic, Correa is vaccinated, but he isn't feeling well since testing positive and may need more than a few days of recovery time to get his conditioning back in order once he's no longer symptomatic. Minnesota called up Jermaine Palacios from Triple-A St. Paul to provide additional depth in the middle infield, but it's unclear if he'll be deployed as the team's everyday shortstop or if the Twins will rely on a committee of Palacios, Jorge Polanco and Nick Gordon to fill in at the position while Correa is sidelined.
May 30 2022Correa tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, Audra Martin of Bally Sports North reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa wasn't in the lineup for Monday's matchup against the Tigers, and the Twins found out during the game that the shortstop had tested positive for COVID-19. Since Royce Lewis (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, Correa's absence will leave Minnesota particularly shorthanded at shortstop. Jorge Polanco, Nick Gordon and Jose Miranda should be in the mix for additional playing time while Correa is away from the team.
May 28 2022Correa went 1-for-5 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 10-7 win over the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brad Keller hung a sinker over the heart of the plate in the top of the fourth inning and Correa capitalized, sending it over the fence in left center field for his third homer of the year. The shortstop has hit safely in five straight games, and in nine contests since returning from a finger injury he's batting .333 (12-for-36) with four doubles, a homer, five runs and five RBI.
May 22 2022Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa started the past three games after being reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, and he'll head to the bench after going 5-for-13 with two doubles, two walks, three RBI and three runs during that span. Nick Gordon will start at shortstop and bat seventh in his place.
May 18 2022Correa went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, two runs scored and an RBI on Wednesday against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa returned from the injured list after recovering from a finger injury that cost him nearly two weeks. He singled and scored his first time at the plate and followed that up with an RBI double in the fourth frame. Correa has lacked power early on in the campaign, though the recent uptick in offense around the league bodes well for his potential to experience improved results.
May 17 2022Correa (finger) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics and remains on the 10-day injured list. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Previous reports indicated that Correa would return from the injured list to play Tuesday, but if that happens, it would be in a bench role, which seems unlikely. The Twins do still believe he could return this series, per MLB.com, which would make Wednesday his new expected return date, as the team has an off day Thursday before traveling to Kansas City on Friday. Royce Lewis will get at least one more start at shortstop as a result.
May 16 2022Manager Rocco Baldelli stated Monday that Correa (finger) is "very close to returning," Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Pressreports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa revealed over the weekend that his bruised right middle finger is starting to feel better, and Baldelli believes the shortstop could return to action over the next few days, per Helfand. He was 6-for-20 with a home run, two doubles, three RBI and three runs scored through five games in May prior to suffering the injury. Royce Lewis figures to return to a bench role once Correa is activated from the injured list.
May 14 2022Correa (finger) said Saturday that he's starting to feel better, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was recently placed on the 10-day injured list due to his right middle finger contusion, but he was able to participate in throwing and hitting drills prior to Saturday's game against the Guardians. The 27-year-old is hopeful that he'll be able to return after spending the minimum of 10 days on the injured list, and he's eligible to be activated as early as Monday.
May 10 2022Correa (finger) hopes to return from the 10-day injured list after a minimum-length stay, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Twins tried to give Correa a chance to avoid the injured list as he recovers from a bruised finger, but it turns out that he'll need at least 10 days to heal, as he was still feeling pain while hitting and throwing Monday. His placement on the injured list was backdated to Thursday, so he's eligible to return Monday in Oakland. Royce Lewis should continue to serve as the primary shortstop until then.
May 8 2022Correa (finger) said Tuesday's series opener against the Astros is "not a realistic day to come back," Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 7 2022Correa (finger) isn't starting Saturday against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa's recent CT scan didn't reveal a fracture, so the 27-year-old is considered day-to-day as he deals with a bruise and soreness. He'll remain out of the lineup for a second straight game while Royce Lewis starts at shortstop and bats ninth.
May 6 2022Correa (finger) underwent a CT scan Friday that didn't reveal a fracture, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 5 2022Correa 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 24 2022Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa started the past nine games and will receive a day to reset after posting a .182/.308/.182 slash line and 28.2 percent strikeout rate during that span. Nick Gordon take over at shortstop in his absence and bat ninth.
Apr 13 2022Correa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 10 2022Correa 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Mar 27 2022Correa is hitting third and starting at shortstop in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Mar 18 2022Correa signed a three-year, $105.3 million contract with the Twins on Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.

Apr 5 2021Correa batted sixth and went 1-for-4 in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa opened the season as the fifth-place hitter but was dropped to sixth Sunday. That seems to run counter to expectations, as Houston was without two-hole hitter Michael Brantley (wrist). Instead, both Yordan Alvarez and Yuli Gurriel jumped above Correa.
Mar 11 2021Correa batted leadoff and went 3-for-3 with two RBI in Wednesday's spring game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Houston manager Dusty Baker declared Correa as a candidate to lead off along with center fielder Myles Straw. Wednesday's start was the third time this spring that Correa has hit leadoff and the first success he's had in that role. The Astros are looking to replace George Springer atop the batting order, and Correa brings a similar offensive style to Springer, while Straw offers a speed element.
Mar 10 2021Manager Dusty Baker said Wednesday that Correa and Myles Straw are the "leading candidates" to bat leadoff Opening Day for the Astros, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: George Springer was the longtime leadoff man for Houston, but now that he's moved onto Toronto, Baker is in search of his new man atop the order. Correa has never batted leadoff in his major-league career, primarily hitting third or fourth. The 26-year-old struggled in 2020 with a .264/.326/.383 slash line, five homers and 25 RBI in 58 games, but he had an .845 OPS across the previous five seasons. Correa is the safer option between the two candidates since Straw has only 224 big-league plate appearances to his name, though the latter certainly provides more upside on the basepaths.
Feb 6 2021Correa agreed to a one-year, $11.7 million contract with the Astros on Saturday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa was slated to go to arbitration during the offseason, but he was able to reach an agreement with Houston ahead of the case. The 26-year-old posted a .709 OPS with five home runs and 25 RBI over 58 games during the abbreviated 2020 season and will serve as the Astros' starting shortstop once again in 2021.
Oct 17 2020Correa went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Game 6 of the ALCS. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa didn't repeat his heroics of Game 5, but he still managed to rack up hits. He has now reached base in five of six games in the ALCS and 11 of 12 contests across the entirety of the postseason. That's resulted in a .372/.471/.814 line in 51 plate appearances, as he looks to help power the Astros to another World Series appearance.
Oct 16 2020Correa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the Astros' Game 5 win over the Rays on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Astros were staring elimination in the face once again, but Correa kept their season alive another day with his game-winning homer off Tampa Bay relief ace Nick Anderson. Correa has now exceeded his home run output from the shortened regular season with six long balls in these playoffs. He's slashing .342/.457/.816 this postseason.
Oct 13 2020Correa went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Monday's ALCS Game 2 loss against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa cut the deficit to two in the top of the sixth with a solo shot off Pete Fairbanks, but it didn't wind up being enough as the Astros lost their second game in a row. Still, it continues the shortstop's remarkable postseason. He's now hit five homers in eight games, the same total he recorded in 58 regular-season contests. He's slashing .423/.559/1.000, bringing his career postseason slash line to .268/.343/.536 in 58 games.
Oct 6 2020Correa went 3-for-5 with two homers and four RBI in Monday's ALDS Game 1 win over Oakland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa tied the game at 3-3 with a two-run homer off Chris Bassitt in the top of the fourth. In the top of the seventh, with his team up 7-5, he added an insurance run with a solo homer off Lou Trivino. He extended the Astros' lead to four in the very next frame with an RBI single. The shortstop now has 14 homers in 53 career playoff games and owns a career postseason wRC+ of 128, edging out his regular-season wRC+ of 127.
Oct 1 2020Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Wednesday's win against the Twins in Game 2 of the AL Wild Card Round. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa's homer proved to be the deciding hit of the series, as his seventh-inning solo shot off Cody Stashak gave his team a 2-1 lead in a game the Astros would eventually win 3-1. He's now gone 3-for-6 with a pair of walks so far this postseason.
Sep 26 2020Correa isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa started nearly every game during the regular season in 2020, but he'll sit for Saturday's contest after the Astros secured a spot in the playoffs Friday. Jack Mayfield will start at shortstop.
Sep 17 2020Correa went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa survived a scare Tuesday when he fouled a ball off his ankle that forced him to leave that night's game. He's appeared in 48 of Houston's 49 games, the first time in four seasons Correa has not missed significant time due to injury.
Sep 16 2020Correa (ankle) is starting Wednesday against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa left Tuesday's game after fouling a ball off his left ankle, and X-rays revealed a bone bruise. However, he'll be able to return to the field Wednesday, playing shortstop and batting seventh.
Sep 15 2020Correa had X-rays on his left ankle come back negative Tuesday and was diagnosed with a bone bruise, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa sustained the injury during the sixth inning against the Rangers as he fouled a ball off his ankle, and he required assistance leaving the field. The 26-year-old appears to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.
Sep 3 2020Correa is not in Thursday's lineup against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He is hitting .188 with zero home runs in 32 at-bats over his last 10 games. Jack Mayfield will start at shortstop and hit ninth.
Aug 24 2020Correa went 1-for-5 with a three-RBI double and a run scored in Monday's 11-4 win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa hit the bases-loaded double in the sixth inning to give the Astros a more comfortable lead. He then came around to score on a Kyle Tucker double to make it a 9-4 lead at the time. The 25-year-old Correa is slashing .295/.373/.438 with three homers, 19 RBI, 12 runs scored and six doubles in 29 contests.
Aug 19 2020Correa went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa entered this game a bit cold with five hits in his last 28 at-bats, but Coors Field is just the place for a hitter to get right. Through 24 games this season, Correa is batting .321 with an .894 OPS. He was batting .295/.360/.547 at the All-Star break last year before back issues derailed his season.
Aug 18 2020Correa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Colorado, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa sits for just the second time this season in what appears to be simply a routine day off. Jack Mayfield will take over at shortstop.
Aug 17 2020Correa went 2-for-4 with a two-RBI double in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa scored Alex Bregman and Yuli Gurriel with his first-inning double, and that was enough for the Astros to win the game. The 25-year-old Correa is batting .304 with two homers, 11 RBI and seven runs scored through 22 games this season.
Aug 11 2020Correa went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Monday's 6-4 win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa has been the most consistent producer in a Houston lineup that's struggled to score runs. He's hit safely in 14 of 16 games with a slash of .345/.433/.517. Top-of-the-lineup hitters like George Springer (wrist), Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman have not reached base as consistently as usual so far his season, which has limited RBI opportunities for Correa, who had just one RBI in the previous nine games.
Aug 5 2020Correa went 3-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa is one of the few Houston batters off to a productive start. He's hit safely in nine of 10 games played, going 14-for-36 with five extra-base hits (two homers) and six RBI.
Aug 2 2020Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: According to Rome, manager Dusty Baker said that Correa is just getting a maintenance day after he started in each of the Astros' first eight games. Before going 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Saturday's 5-4 loss, Correa had put together a seven-game hitting streak to begin the campaign. Jack Mayfield will enter the lineup in place of Correa, starting at shortstop and batting eighth.
Jul 28 2020Correa went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Michael Brantley was the only other Astro to even collect a hit on the night, but Correa was in the spotlight for Houston in more ways than one -- his interactions with Joe Kelly in the sixth inning led to both benches clearing, although Kelly seemed to be the main instigator. Correa has hit safely in all five games to begin the season, going 7-for-17 with a homer and four RBI.
Jul 25 2020Correa went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over Seattle. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa, who has batted sixth in the first two games of 2020, opened the season with hits and RBI in both games. He's had three straight seasons impacted by injuries.
Mar 10 2020Correa went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Monday's spring game against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Three of Correa's six spring hits have been doubles. The Astros made a series of cuts this week, so regulars like Correa should get more at-bats and work on timing over the next couple of weeks. The shortstop is coming off a third consecutive year impacted by injuries, although when healthy, Correa makes a fantasy impact out of the middle infield.
Jan 10 2020Correa and the Astros agreed to a one-year, $8 million deal Friday, avoiding arbitration, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa won his arbitration case in 2019, earning $5 million. He went on to hit .279/.358/.568 with 21 homers in just 75 games in an injury-filled age-24 season.
Oct 17 2019Correa went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Thursday in an 8-3 win over the Yankees in Game 4 of the ALCS. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While Correa has struggled so far in the postseason, slashing just .167/.167/.389, it's encouraging two see him pop two homers in the last three games after he battled back problems for much of the regular season. If the Astros can wrap up the series in Game 5, it would by Correa a few additional days to rest his ailing back.
Oct 4 2019Correa (back) is in the lineup for Game 1 of the ALDS against the Rays on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa has been out for nearly two weeks with a tight back, but he's ready to go for the start of the playoffs, batting seventh and playing shortstop. Injuries limited him to just 75 games this season, but he hit quite well when healthy, posting a .279/.358/.568 slash line.
Oct 2 2019Correa (back) is expected to play in Game 1 of the ALDS on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Oct 2 2019Correa (back) is expected to play in Game 1 of the ALDS on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A sore back has kept Correa sidelined since Sept. 21. The shortstop himself expressed optimism over the weekend that he wouldn't have to miss any playoff games, and manager AJ Hinch was similarly optimistic Wednesday.
Sep 29 2019Correa (back) said a doctor in Los Angeles told him he "should be good to go for the playoffs," Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa exuded optimism Saturday, one day after general manager Jeff Luhnow acknowledged the shortstop will have a lot to do over the next week to be ready for the postseason. Correa said he woke up Saturday feeling like he'd be in the lineup if the playoffs started Sunday. "I feel really good. I woke up feeling great," Correa said. "Today we did more stuff in the gym and, like I said, it's a positive step moving forward and we're going to ramp it up once we get to Houston." The Astros will wrap their regular season against the Angels on Sunday then return to Houston to prepare for the ALDS, which begins Friday.
Sep 28 2019Correa (back) will participate in workouts over the next week to determine his availability for the American League Division Series, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa is still with the team in Los Angeles but was not spotted at Angel Stadium prior to Friday's game. "We're going to have to see him do a lot of stuff between now and next Friday," Houston general manager Jeff Luhnow said. "He's going to have to ramp up his activity each day and give us comfort that he's ready to play. If he's not ready to play, he (could) be on the roster and not play. But, most likely, we'd have to use that roster spot for someone else." That Correa's not performing baseball activities at this time is concerning. The Astros will return to Houston on Monday and will have two scheduled workouts Wednesday and Thursday before the ALDS opens Friday, Oct. 4.
Sep 26 2019Correa (back) has been shut down for the rest of the regular season but is expected to start Game 1 of the ALDS, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Astros will keep the 25-year-old out of action until the postseason to ensure he's 100 percent. Aledmys Diaz and Jack Mayfield figure to see time at shortstop in the final four regular-season contests.
Sep 25 2019Correa (back) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game at Seattle, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa missed Tuesday's contest due to back tightness but said after the game he expected to rejoin the lineup Wednesday, though he apparently isn't quite ready to roll. According to Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle, the 25-year-old will sit again Thursday versus the Angels, though he said he would be OK to play were it the playoffs.
Sep 24 2019Correa was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Mariners with a sore back, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa apparently came to manager AJ Hinch and let him know that his back was a little tight, while Hinch said Correa probably could have played (he took normal batting practice) if the Astros needed to win this game. Aledmys Diaz will enter the lineup at third base and Alex Bregman will slide over to shortstop.
Sep 22 2019Correa is not in the Astros' lineup Sunday against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's been the team's plan to limit Correa's playing time since his return from a back injury. He was replaced in the sixth inning in Saturday's contest and will now remain out Sunday. Aledmys Diaz will enter the lineup and play third base while batting seventh as a result of Correa's absence.
Sep 21 2019Correa's exit in the sixth inning on Saturday against the Angels was part of the plan to limit his playing time to close the regular season, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After the game, manager A.J. Hinch said that the team planned to play Correa only six or seven innings due to his lack of a rehab assignment. Even with a more limited workload, Correa has been productive, collecting three hits and scoring three runs in his three games since being activated from the injured list.
Sep 18 2019Correa will sit as expected Wednesday against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa isn't expected to play every day right away after returning from a nearly month-long absence with a back injury. He went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Tuesday and will rest Wednesday, with Alex Bregman sliding to shortstop and Aledmys Diaz starting at third base.
Sep 17 2019Correa (back) will start at shortstop and bat seventh Tuesday against the Rangers, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa completed a short rehab stint with Triple-A Round Rock, and he's since been cleared to return from the 10-day injured list. He's been sidelined since Aug. 20 due to a back issue. Houston will have the luxury of easing Correa back into action with the playoffs still a few weeks away.
Sep 15 2019Correa (back) went 1-for-2 with two walks in Triple-A Round Rock's season-ending loss to Sacramento on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With no more minor-league games left, it appears Correa's return is imminent. The shortstop will remain with Round Rock through the weekend and partake in a live batting-practice session Sunday before rejoining the Astros on their off day Monday. "If all goes well, we'll continue his rehab in the big leagues during this homestand," manager AJ Hinch said. The Astros host the Rangers for two games beginning Tuesday followed by a three-game set against the Angels that begins Friday. There is a chance Correa could ramp up slowly, playing less than a full-game in the first few games for which he's activated.
Sep 12 2019Correa (back) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa will stick with the Express during their playoff run; if the team gets eliminated, the shortstop will continue rehabbing with High-A Fayetteville or play in simulated games to get back up to speed. His return date remains up in the air.
Sep 10 2019Correa (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa is expected to get a chance to take the field for Game 3 of Round Rock's playoff series, assuming all goes well over the next few days. His return date is still up in the air.
Sep 9 2019Correa (back) could make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa has missed just shy of three weeks with a sore back. The Astros are likely primarily concerned with getting him right for the playoffs, but it looks as though he'll be able to return for at least a handful of games prior to the end of the regular season.
Sep 8 2019Correa (back) took batting practice on the field prior to Sunday's game against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Correa began hitting off a tee Tuesday, so he appears to be progressing nicely in his return from back soreness. The 24-year-old has been sidelined since Aug. 20 due to the issue, and it remains unclear when exactly the Astros expect him to return from the injured list, though he believes he'll be back before the end of the regular season.

Jul 24 2018Correa (back) hit off a tee Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.He had begun running and playing catch, and did some more of both Tuesday, but this marks the first time he has swung a bat recently. A report from Monday stated that Correa was at least two weeks away from coming off the disabled list. This means he could return around mid August.
Jul 23 2018Correa (back) has begun playing catch and running, but has not been cleared to swing a bat, Austin Laymance of the Houston Chronicle reports.For the first time we're learning that Correa suffered a setback over the All-Star break when the injured shortstop felt discomfort swinging a bat. Manager A.J. Hinch said there is no timetable for that to happen. "We're just progressing him slowly," Hinch said. "He's pain free. He's doing better. It's just a slow process to get him back to doing more hitting and fielding." The Astros aren't expecting Correa back in the majors for at least two weeks, a period of time that will include a rehabilitation stint.
Jul 22 2018Correa (back) played catch and participated in baserunning drills Saturday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.The Astros are surely encouraged by Correa incorporating baseball activities into his rehab regimen, but manager A.J. Hinch suggested that the star shortstop is still at least a couple weeks away from returning to action. In addition to stepping up the intensity of his running program, Correa will need to ramp up his hitting and fielding in workouts and then complete a minor-league rehab assignment before an activation date will come into focus. Marwin Gonzalez and Alex Bregman will continue to see most of the action at shortstop until Correa is deemed fully healthy.
Jul 20 2018Manager A.J. Hinch stated Correa (back) won't come off the disabled list until the conclusion of Houston's current road trip, Austin Laymance of MLB.com reports.Correa has been sidelined since June 26 due to back soreness, but he's been making strides towards a return as he began a rehab stint during the All-Star break. The Astros' current road trip finishes July 25, so the earliest he could return is July 27 against Texas. More updates on Correa's status should surface as he progresses through his rehab assignment.
Jul 17 2018Correa (back) has continued to rehab in Houston during the All-Star break but it's uncertain if he'll be available for the Astros' six-game road trip that begins Friday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic Houston reports. "I certainly can't rule him in," manager A.J. Hinch said Sunday, regarding Correa's status for the road trip. "I'm not going to rule him out."Correa's availability for the three-game sets in Anaheim and Colorado would be based on his completion of a minor-league rehab assignment, which Hinch suggested the shortstop would require before being activated. While it's an encouraging sign that Correa is still incorporating baseball activities into his regimen and hasn't been shut down, he'll need to take another step forward in his recovery before a return from the DL can be considered imminent. Correa has been sidelined since June 25 with lower-back soreness.
Jul 12 2018Correa (back) will not return until after the All-Star break, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet reports.As expected, manager A.J. Hinch ruled Correa out for the final weekend in the first half of the 2018 campaign, and added that the shortstop will require a rehabilitation assignment in the minor leagues prior to his return. In previous days, Correa has resumed throwing, fielded groundballs and did some light hitting in the batting cage. If all goes well, he should be able to embark upon a minor-league assignment next week. Expect an update on his status later on this weekend as he continues to ramp up activities.
Jul 12 2018Correa (back) took ground balls for a second straight day Wednesday and incorporated some throwing during his pre-game work, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa did his most work Wednesday since hitting the disabled list June 26 and said he planned on hitting in a cage later in the day. There was no confirmation of him hitting, but the ramping up of baseball activities is a positive sign.
Jul 9 2018Correa (back) fielded groundballs from a stationary stance on the field before Monday's game, Christian Boutwell of MLB.com reports.While it was a minor achievement, this marks the first baseball activities for Correa since he landed on the disabled list. He is still not swinging a bat or moving in the field or on the bases, so there is no expectation that he will be back until sometime after the All-Star break.
Jul 9 2018Correa (back) has not participated in baseball activities since being placed on the 10-day disabled list, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.Manager A.J. Hinch said Correa hasn't progressed as fast as the Astros were hoping and are taking it day-to-day. The manager hasn't ruled out a return before the All-Star break, but that can't be considered until Correa is able to starting hitting, throwing and taking grounders.
Jul 5 2018Manager A.J. Hinch said Thursday that Correa (back) is not expected to return from the 10-day DL this weekend against the White Sox, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet reports.As expected, Correa will not be rushed back into action, as the 23-year-old has yet to resume baseball activities after landing on the shelf last Friday. With just seven games left before the All-Star break following the Astros' four-game set against Chicago weekend, it may be determined that the best course of action is to keep Correa out until the second half of the season.
Jul 4 2018Manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Correa (back) is still not participating in baseball activities, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.Back stiffness forced Correa to the disabled list last Friday and he remains effectively shut down, meaning a return this weekend when first eligible is pretty much out of the question. At this point, a return before the All-Star break may be a stretch. Hopefully this extended rest allows Correa to get back to the level of performance we're accustomed to seeing from him. He was slashing .268/.352/.480 before hitting the DL, down from .315/.391/.550 last season.
Jun 28 2018Correa (back) is out of the lineup Thursday against the Rays, Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times reports.Correa will sit for a third consecutive contest as he continues to deal with a stiff back. Marwin Gonzalez will start in his absence yet again. Manager A.J. Hinch didn't sound too concerned when discussing Correa's status prior to Wednesday's game, so continue to consider him day-to-day for the time being.
Jun 28 2018Correa (back) will be placed on the 10-day disabled list prior to Friday's game, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.This move will be backdated to Tuesday so Correa will be eligible to return from the shelf against the White Sox on July 6. The shortstop was held out of Tuesday's game after going 1-for-3 on Monday, and hasn't been able to take the field since. It doesn't appear as though he will require anything longer than the minimum stay on the DL, so expect to see him back in action next weekend. Look for Marwin Gonzalez to serve as the shortstop in his absence while Tony Kemp and Jake Marisnick earn a little more playing time in the outfield.
Jun 27 2018Correa (back) is not in the lineup against Toronto on Wednesday.Correa will remain on the bench for a second straight day due to back stiffness. Marwin Gonzalez will man the shortstop position in his place while Tony Kemp Kemp gets a start in left field. Consider Correa day-to-day ahead of Thursday's series opener in Tampa Bay.
Jun 26 2018Correa is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Blue Jays.Correa's numbers are slightly down from last season, but he's still hitting a very solid .268/.352/.480, with 13 homers in 73 games. Marwin Gonzalez will start at shortstop in his place Tuesday.
Jun 26 2018Correa is being held out Tuesday with what manager A.J. Hinch is terming "back stiffness," Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa does not appear to be dealing with any sort of serious setback, but the sore back does leave his status day-to-day moving forward, and it could cost him further action with the Astros playing an early afternoon game Wednesday. Those hoping to include Correa in Wednesday's lineups will want to check for an update on his status when the Astros release their lineup for Wednesday's contest several hours prior to first pitch.
Jun 24 2018Correa went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Royals in extra innings.Correa delivered a run-producing single in the bottom of the 12th, giving the Astros a walkoff win and preventing a two-game losing streak against the worst team in baseball. He's been productive since returning from a side injury, knocking three home runs and driving in 10 over the last 11 games to take the team lead with 49 RBI.
Jun 17 2018Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a sac fly and three RBI in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Royals.It was Correa's 13th long ball of the season alongside 47 RBI and a .855 OPS. The 23-year-old shortstop is starting to catch fire; he has four multi-hit efforts in his last six games with eight RBI and three home runs. With an upcoming series against the Rays, Correa and the Astros should get some favorable matchups to start the fantasy week.
Jun 16 2018Correa went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Royals.Correa hit a solo home run -- his 12th of the year -- off starter Jake Junis in the fourth inning. Correa has now recorded a hit in seven consecutive games, three of which have been multi-hit performances. The young shortstop is hitting .275/.362/.496 with 27 extra-base hits. His 44 RBI rank third among MLB shortstops and his 43 runs are tied for fourth at the position.
Jun 13 2018Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Athletics.Correa, who had missed Houston's four-game sweep of Texas over the weekend with a side injury, announced his return in fine fashion. On his first at-bat in six days, he sent the first pitch he saw, a grooved 91 mph four-seam fastball, 410 feet away into the upper deck at Oakland Coliseum. The slugging shortstop had been on a slide at the time of his injury, slashing .203/.272/.351 over 81 plate appearances, including 25 strikeouts (30.9 K%).
Jun 12 2018Correa (side) is starting at shortstop and batting fourth in the lineup Tuesday against the A's.As expected, Correa will slot back into the cleanup spot for the Astros after missing the past four games with soreness in his right side. The star shortstop was 5-for-18 at the plate in June before suffering the injury and is coming off a rough month of May in which he slashed just .192/.292/.394. He'll look to find his stroke Tuesday against righty Daniel Mengden.
Jun 10 2018Correa (side) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.Correa will be on the bench for a fourth consecutive contest while he battles right side discomfort, resulting in Marwin Gonzalez picking up another turn at shortstop. The 23-year-old was expected to go through fielding drills prior to Sunday's contest and will have the benefit of a team off day Monday, offering optimism that he'll be back in the fold for the Astros' series opener Tuesday in Oakland. Unfortunately for fantasy owners in weekly leagues with lineups that lock Monday, official word on Correa's status for the Oakland series seems unlikely to come until Tuesday.
Jun 10 2018Astros manager A.J. Hinch said that he expects Correa (side) to rejoin the lineup Tuesday against the Athletics, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa will be sidelined for a fourth straight game Sunday against the Rangers while he recovers from a sore right side, but it appears a trip to the disabled list won't be necessary for the star shortstop. He was able to put in a workout in the infield Sunday, and with a team off day Monday, the Astros anticipate that Correa will be healthy enough to suit up for the series opener in Oakland. Correa's return to the starting nine would result in Marwin Gonzalez shifting back to left field on a regular basis.
Jun 9 2018Correa (side) is not yet performing baseball activities and continues to work on testing his core, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.Every development since Correa left Wednesday's game with discomfort in his right side has been positive: a magnetic resonance imaging exam came back negative and the shortstop hasn't felt pain since the incident. Manager A.J. Hinch said he's bouncing back quickly and isn't feeling anything when he breathes or with any type of body movement. Hinch hasn't ruled out a return this weekend, but without Correa swinging a bat or fielding grounders, he may not be ready to play until the next series, which begins Tuesday in Oakland.
Jun 9 2018Correa (side) isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Rangers.Correa exited Wednesday's tilt due to side discomfort, and it seems unlikely that he'll return this weekend after failing to participate in any baseball activities since suffering the injury. More information on his status should be released in the next few days.
Jun 8 2018Correa (side) was held out of Friday's lineup against the Rangers, Alyson Footer of MLB.com reports.Correa will get another day off after leaving Wednesday's outing with right side discomfort, though he did receive positive news from an MRI on Thursday. Manager A.J. Hinch hasn't remarked on Correa's status, but all signs point toward the shortstop returning to the fold sometime this weekend. For the second straight game, Marwin Gonzalez will man the shortstop position in his stead.
Jun 7 2018Correa (side) received good results from Thursday's MRI and stated that he's day-to-day moving forward, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.Correa described the results of the tests as "great news" and added that he's optimistic that he will be back on the field soon. Whether that comes Friday or later on this weekend, that remains to be seen, but in all likelihood, it appears as though he didn't sustain a significant injury. In his absence, Marwin Gonzalez will start at shortstop for Thursday's series opener.
Jun 7 2018Correa (side) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against Texas, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.Correa was forced to exit Wednesday's contest with right side discomfort prior to the top of the eighth inning and he will get the night off as the club begins a four-game set in Arlington. The Astros have yet to describe the severity of Correa's injury at this time, so consider him day-to-day ahead of Friday's tilt.
Jun 6 2018Correa exited Wednesday's game against the Mariners with right side discomfort, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.Correa was 1-for-3 with a walk before being replaced by Marwin Gonzalez prior to the top of the eighth inning. He apparently felt something during his final at-bat in the seventh inning, though specifics remain unclear at this point. Consider the shortstop day-to-day for now. He'll be reevaluated Thursday.
Jun 2 2018Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Friday's 7-3 win over Boston.Correa has gone yard in each of the first two games of the series, giving him 10 for the season, the fourth consecutive year he's reached double-digit home runs. The slugging shortstop endured a May in which he hit a lowly .192, but his power didn't slump. He hit five homers and knocked in a team-high 17 runs during May and leads the Astros with 39 RBI in 56 games. Even during stretches in which his bat slumps, Correa's spot as cleanup hitter in stacked lineup presents RBI opportunities.
May 31 2018Correa went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Red Sox.Correa got the Astros on the board in the first inning by hitting his ninth home run of the season. It was his first home run since May 19, and he has struggled at the plate of late going just 8-for-42 across his past 10 games. This home run could get him on track in what has been a relatively quiet season for him to this point.
May 29 2018Correa will take a seat for Tuesday's matchup against the Yankees, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.Alex Bregman will start at shortstop and bat second in Correa's stead. The 23-year-old is 7-for-31 with two extra-base hits and five RBI over the course of his last seven games, and figures to be back in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale.
May 23 2018Correa went 2-for-4 with an RBI, run scored and a strikeout in Wednesday's win over the Giants.Correa entered Wednesday's tilt in a mini slump amidst an 0-for-9, four-strikeout stretch, but he broke out of it with his first multi-hit effort in nearly three weeks. The 23-year-old is still hitting just .188 in May and as a result boasts a .273/.363/.483 slash line that would be sizably down from last year's numbers in all three categories.
May 19 2018Correa went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's loss to the Indians.Correa sent a Corey Kluber offering 416 feet to put the Astros on the board in the sixth inning, marking his eighth home run of the season. He had been scuffling over his last two weeks, slashing .214/.365/.429 in 42 at-bats heading into Saturday, but Correa's homer off Kluber should serve as a reminder that he can get hot at any time.
May 12 2018Correa went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Rangers.The shortstop has been stuck in a rut lately, hitting .194 (7-for-36) since the calendar flipped to May, but Correa does have two homers, six RBI and five runs in 10 games on the month to date. His overall .295/.380/.511 slash line remains strong, but the 23-year-old showed in 2017 that his ceiling is much higher than that.
May 9 2018Correa is not in the lineup against Oakland on Wednesday.Correa will receive a day off during Wednesday's matinee after starting 31 straight games. Marwin Gonzalez will get the nod at shortstop in his absence while batting fifth in the order. Over 37 games this season, Correa is hitting .296/.367/.496 with five home runs and 25 RBI.
May 6 2018Correa went 1-for-3 with a double Sunday against Arizona.Correa recorded double No. 12 of the season Sunday and continues to put together solid production at the plate. He's batting .299 with five home runs and 25 RBI through his first 35 games. Correa should continue to put up decent power numbers as the season progresses.
May 4 2018Correa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Yankees.Like many of his colleagues, Correa's bat went quiet during the four-game set against the Yankees, but he salvaged some success with his fifth home run of the season in the eighth inning, a 446-foot shot measuring as the longest one hit at Minute Maid Park this season. It ended an 11-game streak without a homer. As one might expect from a third or fourth place hitter in a stacked lineup, Correa leads the Astros with 22 RBI, ranking him 17th in all of baseball.
Apr 21 2018Correa went 3-for-5 with two homers and three RBI in Friday's blowout win over the White Sox.Correa clubbed a two-run homer off reliever Danny Farquhar in the sixth and then hit a solo shot off Carson Fulmer in the ninth, his first home runs since April 3. Although he hasn't been hitting a bunch out of the ballpark, Correa has been getting hits to fall. Over the last five games, the shortstop is 9-for-19 (.474), and has now brought his season average to .319.
Apr 10 2018Correa went 2-for-4 with a double and scored both runs in Monday's 2-0 win over the Twins.It wasn't a good night for the hitters as the temperature dipped to 35 degrees by the first pitch, but Correa managed to break an 0-for-12 slide with a sixth-inning double. He's scored a team-high nine runs, which puts him in a tie for ninth in MLB. Those are the perks of hitting in the middle of a stacked lineup. The Astros will have another night game Tuesday before an afternoon, and presumably warmer, game on getaway day Wednesday.
Apr 7 2018Correa went 0-for-3 with an RBI in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Padres.Correa had been given a day off Wednesday, which, coupled with Thursday's off day, gave the shortstop a nice two-day break. It gave him some extra time for any lingering issues he may have had with a toe injury sustained earlier in the week after fouling a ball off his foot.
Apr 4 2018Correa is out of the lineup against the Orioles on Wednesday, Hunter Atkins of The Houston Chronicle reports.Correa will receive an expected day off after suffering a minor toe injury during Monday's outing. There shouldn't be any concern over his status since Correa was able to play Tuesday, but manager A.J. Hinch will take it easy on his shortstop with a scheduled off day on tap prior to Friday's series opener against San Diego. In his place, Marwin Gonzalez will take over at short while J.D. Davis draws a start at first.
Apr 3 2018Correa (toe) is batting cleanup and playing shortstop Tuesday against the Orioles, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.Correa left Monday's game prematurely due to a left big toe injury, but he'll return to the lineup Tuesday after X-rays clarified that there isn't a greater issue in play. The 23-year-old will continue to play a prominent role in the Astros' offense unless his toe acts up again in Tuesday's tilt.
Apr 3 2018Correa (toe) underwent X-rays on Monday, which came back negative, the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa, who stayed in Sunday's game after fouling a ball off his left small toe, was pulled from Monday's home opener after just two innings. Manager A.J. Hinch described Correa as day-to-day and was hopeful the shortstop could "very likely be in the lineup" Tuesday against Baltimore.
Apr 3 2018Correa is scheduled to sit out of Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.Correa returned to the lineup Tuesday after dealing with a minor toe injury. Although the superstar shortstop has been deemed healthy, the Astros plan on being careful with Correa and will give him some additional rest. The team has Thursday off, so Correa should be ready to go when Houston hosts the Padres on Friday.
Apr 3 2018Correa went 2-for-2 with an inside-the-park home run, three RBI, three runs and a walk, helping Houston to a 10-6 win over Baltimore on Tuesday.Correa exited Houston's game on Monday with discomfort in his toe but any concern over that can be alleviated with Tuesday's inside-the-park homer that forced him to sprint full-speed around the bases. He's off to a rip-roaring start to 2018, hitting .474 with a .522 on base percentage through his first 19 at-bats and it's scary to think that he's talented enough to improve on a brilliant 2017 that saw him slash .315/.391/.550.
Apr 2 2018Correa left Monday's game against the Orioles after experiencing discomfort in his left foot's big toe, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic Houston reports.Following Correa's departure, J.D. Davis entered the game to play first base while Marwin Gonzalez moved to shortstop. It's unclear if Correa is dealing with a serious injury or if the decision to pull him from the game was a precautionary measure, but more information should be available soon. If he has to miss time, expect Gonzalez to fill in at shortstop.
Apr 2 2018Correa (toe) will be day-to-day after exiting Monday's game early, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.Correa fouled a ball off the same toe during Sunday's game against Texas and then reaggravated it while taking a ground ball in the second inning of Monday's contest. It appears the Astros removed the 23-year-old shortstop as a precaution, and they'll likely gauge how Correa is feeling before making a decision on his status for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
Mar 31 2018Correa went 4-for-5 with one double, one home run, two runs scored and two RBI Saturday against the Rangers.Correa had his first big performance of the season, though it surely won't be his last. He continued to show the ability to hit both right-handed and left-handed pitching well, hitting two doubles off Matt Moore before taking Jesse Chavez deep in the seventh inning. Correa is hitting in the heart of the excellent Astros', lineup so fantasy numbers should keep coming in bunches.
Mar 29 2018Correa will start at shortstop and bat cleanup in Thursday's opener against the Rangers, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.Correa will return to his familiar spot in the heart of the lineup after batting .300 with three home runs and 11 RBI across 60 at-bats during spring training. A thumb injury cost Correa nearly two months last season, but the 23-year-old still finished as one of the top fantasy producers at shortstop with 24 home runs, 84 RBI, 82 runs and a .315 average. With Houston retaining most of its core contributors from last season's run to the World Series, Correa is well positioned to set career highs across all those aforementioned counting-stats categories if he can avoid any extended trips to the disabled list.
Mar 10 2018The Astros renewed Correa's contract, the Associated Press reports. He'll earn $1 million for the 2018 season.That price tag seems like a bargain for a player like Correa, who whacked 24 home runs and had a .941 OPS in 109 games from the shortstop position in 2017, but the 23-year-old is still in his pre-arbitration years. The salary is the second-most ever allotted to a pre-arb player, behind only Kris Bryant ($1.05 million in 2017) of the Cubs. Correa will reprise his role as the Astros' starting shortstop in 2018 and, given better health, should push for 30 homers and a greater salary next offseason when he qualifies for arbitration.
Oct 1 2017Correa is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox.The Astros are using Sunday as a chance to rest a handful of their regular starters, so Correa will get the day off. Marwin Gonzalez will start at shortstop in his place. Correa will carry a .315/.391/.550 line into Thursday's playoff game against Boston.
Sep 28 2017Correa went 4-for-4 with a double, a home run, a walk, three runs scored and three RBI in Thursday's 12-2 win over Boston.Correa has produced consecutive four-hit efforts while combining for three home runs and two doubles in those two games. It looks like the thumb injury Correa suffered earlier this season is fully behind him, which is great news both for the talented infielder with the playoffs approaching and for fantasy owners benefiting from his heroics down the stretch.
Sep 27 2017Correa went 4-for-5 with a double, two home runs and four RBI during Wednesday's win over Texas.While missing approximately a month and a half of the season due to a thumb injury definitely robbed Correa from a career-best showing, he's still posted an impressive fantasy campaign. He's now up to 23 homers, 81 RBI, 78 runs with a .308/.382/.539 slash line for the year and still has a few more games on the schedule to pad those statistics.
Sep 24 2017Correa went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Angels.Correa's transition from a thumb injury hasn't gone as smooth as he'd like, going .182 (12-for-66) in 17 games since the Astros activated him off the 10-day disabled list. He had missed so much time due to the injury, it's natural that it's taking Correa some time to get back to form. He squared up a couple of balls and received an intentional free pass Saturday, a good sign he's rounding into form for the postseason. Perhaps Friday's day off was just the ticket.
Sep 22 2017Correa is out of the lineup Friday against the Angels.Houston's star shortstop hasn't been himself at the plate lately. Over the last three games he's gone 0-for-10. He'll get his first day off since returning from the DL on Sept. 3 as Marwin Gonzalez moves in from the outfield to fill in for Correa.
Sep 17 2017Correa went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer Sunday against the Mariners.All of Houston's runs in this 7-1 win came on the team's four homers, with Correa's seventh-inning blast providing the final margin. Despite suiting up for only 98 games because of a thumb injury, the 2012 first overall pick has 21 long balls, 71 runs scored and 71 RBI. The soon-to-be 23-year-old shortstop projects to be among the best offensive options at his position for the next decade despite playing his home games at the pitcher-friendly Minute Maid Park.
Sep 10 2017Correa went a combined 1-for-8 over both ends of Saturday's doubleheader against the Athletics.Correa is just 4-for-30 (.133) over the seven games since returning from a thumb injury. It's the type of injury that can effect a player's swing, so be patient as the young shortstop works through his timing and mechanics.
Sep 4 2017Correa went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Mets.This was Correa's first game back since tearing a ligament in his left thumb July 17. Hand injuries can be tricky to from, so we'll have to watch to see if there's any problems with swing mechanics or dropoff in power.
Sep 3 2017Correa (thumb), who was activated from the 10-day disabled list earlier Sunday, will start at shortstop and bat fourth in the Astros' series finale with the Mets.As expected, manager A.J. Hinch will waste no time ushering the superstar back into the lineup, allowing the Astros to give a breather to utility man Marwin Gonzalez. Correa batted .292 during his six-game rehab assignment, so fantasy owners probably shouldn't have many reservations of activating the shortstop heading into the upcoming week.
Sep 3 2017The Astros activated Correa (thumb) from the 10-day disabled list Sunday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Houston has yet to unveil their lineup for the series finale against the Mets, but it's expected to feature Correa at shortstop with the 22-year-old having fully recovered from the torn thumb ligament that sidelined him for a month and a half. Correa's return means that Marwin Gonzalez will likely see most of his action in the outfield going forward, which could translate to fewer at-bats for the likes of Jake Marisnick, Cameron Maybin and Derek Fisher.
Sep 1 2017Correa (thumb) will come off the DL and be inserted into Sunday's lineup against the Mets, Richard Justice of MLB.com reports.This was the expectation, assuming Correa did not experience any setbacks in his rehab games Thursday and Friday, but now we have confirmation. Correa should be deployed in all formats down the stretch.
Aug 30 2017Correa (thumb) will play in rehab games Thursday and Friday for Double-A Corpus Christi before potentially returning to the Astros' lineup Sunday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.He is scheduled to play in a rehab game with Triple-A Fresno on Wednesday, and will then head to Frisco to join up with the Hooks. If all goes well, he will be evaluated Saturday before a potential activation for the series finale against the Mets.
Aug 29 2017Correa (thumb) is scheduled to play shortstop for Triple-A Fresno on Tuesday and Wednesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.Correa has already appeared in three games for Fresno, going 2-for-9 (.222) with a pair of RBI. If all goes well playing back-to-back days, Correa could find himself back with the Astros over the weekend, though an activation before rosters expand on Friday has been ruled out, according to Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle.
Aug 23 2017Correa (thumb) will start his rehab assignment with Triple-A Fresno on Thursday, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.Correa was able to take batting practice with the Astros on Tuesday, and said that he will need 20-to-30 at-bats during his rehab assignment before returning to the team. That will likely place his return right around the beginning of September following a week of appearances with Fresno, barring any setbacks.
Aug 22 2017Correa (thumb) will hit on the field with the team Tuesday, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.He appears to be nearing a rehab assignment, and will in fact meet with the team doctor again in the coming days before finalizing which affiliate he will start his assignment with. A return before the end of the month may be on the optimistic side, but Correa could certainly return in early September. Marwin Gonzalez is starting at shortstop once again Tuesday in his place.
Aug 22 2017Correa (thumb) estimated that he will need about a week of rehab games before he returns, although he has not yet been sent on a rehab assignment, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.He took batting practice with the team Tuesday and will meet with the team doctor to determine the plan for his impending rehab assignment. Once he gets sent to an affiliate, Correa estimates he will need 20-to-30 at-bats before he returns to the Astros. An early-September return seems like the most likely scenario.
Aug 20 2017Correa (thumb) took batting practice off a pitching machine Sunday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports. "He looked great. He felt great," manager A.J. Hinch said afterwards.Correa continues to make positive progress in his return from a torn ligament in his thumb. The Astros will wait and see how he feels Monday following the increased activity, but assuming everything checks out, he's expected to take batting practice on the field prior to Tuesday's series opener against the Nationals. The star shortstop is inching closer to a minor-league rehab assignment.
Aug 19 2017Correa (thumb) took groundballs and ran the bases again Friday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa, Houston's All-Star shortstop, continues to increase his volume of hitting in the batting cages as he preps himself for an eventual rehabilitation assignment.
Aug 15 2017Correa (thumb) could progress to taking batting practice over the weekend, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa continues to work his way back from a torn ligament in his thumb, as he was able to field grounders, run the bases and take between 20 and 25 swings off a tee Monday with no issues. He's looking to resume regular batting practice over the weekend as he continues to ramp up the intensity of his baseball activities before being cleared for a minor-league rehab assignment.

Aug 15 2017Correa (thumb) took between 20 and 25 swings off a tee Monday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports. "I feel good," Correa said. "I swung hard and everything. It didn't bother me at all. It's a good start."Correa also fielded groundballs and ran the bases as he approaches the four-week mark since his operation. He had been scheduled for a six-to-eight week rehabilitation period, but feels he's ahead of that schedule. Correa will continue to increase the level and intensity of his baseball-related activities before heading out on a rehab assignment, where he can get his timing back and be ready to contribute immediately once he's back in the majors.
Aug 12 2017Correa (thumb) will grip a bat for the first time Monday, but is not quite ready to take swings, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.It's not clear what exactly Correa will do with the bat, other than grip it, as McTaggart reports Correa is still not ready to swing. However, this is another small step in the recovery process. More information should be available early next week after he makes this latest progression.
Aug 8 2017Correa (thumb) said he won't resume swinging a bat until next week, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.The star shortstop was expected to pick up a bat this week, but he's apparently moving along a little slower than expected. Once he's able to swing a bat with no issues, he'll progress to taking batting practice before ultimately heading out on a rehab assignment.
Aug 4 2017Correa (thumb) is aiming to resume swinging a bat next week, Jake Kaplan of The Houston Chronicle reports.The star shortstop has been sidelined since the first week after the All-Star break after undergoing surgery to repair his injured left thumb. If he is able to comfortably swing a bat next week, it'll mark a significant step in his rehab process. Once Correa begins swinging a bat regularly, he figures to begin taking batting practice before setting out on a rehab assignment later in the month provided that he remains on track.
Aug 1 2017Correa (thumb) had his first day of workouts after undergoing surgery July 19, David Barron of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa said he was a bit winded but he needs to maintain his conditioning while the thumb recovers. The 22-year-old shortstop is due back sometime in September.
Jul 19 2017Correa successfully underwent surgery on his injured left thumb Wednesday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Fortunately for the Astros, the star shortstop was able to get the surgery out of the way just a day after it was revealed that he would require an operation to fix the issue in his thumb. Correa will now focus on rehabbing the injury with the hope of returning sometime in the month of September. Look for Marwin Gonzalez and Alex Bregman to hold down the fort at shortstop while he's out.
Jul 18 2017Correa will undergo surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb, and while the Astros have said he will be out 6-to-8 weeks, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports that the expectation is that it will be closer to eight weeks.Correa was placed on the 10-day DL on Tuesday, leaving the Astros to go with a combination of Marwin Gonzalez and Alex Bregman at shortstop with Colin Moran seeing some starts at third base. Mike Trout recently returned from the exact same procedure, and was ready in just under six weeks, but Rosenthal has heard Correa's absence will be a tad longer. An early-September return to the big-league lineup seems like the best-case scenario.
Jul 18 2017Correa was placed on the 10-day DL on Tuesday with a torn ligament in his left thumb and is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks.This is a huge blow, as the earliest Correa will be able to return is September, and Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports that he might need surgery, but nothing has been determined yet on that front. The Astros are saying publicly that they expect Correa to return for the stretch run. Colin Moran was recalled from Triple-A Fresno to take his place on the active roster, and now Marwin Gonzalez and Alex Bregman will be tasked with handling the shortstop workload while Correa is out.
Jul 18 2017Correa will be re-evaluated Tuesday after leaving Monday's game with what was then described as a hammed left thumb, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa appeared to aggravate a thumb injury first sustained July 4 in Atlanta on a headfirst slide into home plate. The young shortstop was hoping the pain he felt that night against the Braves would go away over the All-Star break, but the pain lingered. Expect the Astros to proceed with caution. Marwin Gonzalez is the most likely fill-in shortstop should Correa be forced to miss some time.
Jul 17 2017Correa left Monday's game with a jammed left thumb.Correa exited in the bottom of the fourth inning and will be re-evaluated Tuesday. The 22-year-old looks as though he has avoided serious injury, but it would not be surprising if the Astros are extra cautious with their young shortstop. Correa missed one game with a similar injury just before the All-Star break, but it remains to be seen if this stems from the same injury.
Jul 17 2017Correa exited Monday's game against the Mariners with an apparent left hand/wrist injury, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa appeared to be in immediate pain after taking a swing in the bottom of the fourth inning. The star shortstop was attended to by the team's trainer and was subsequently removed from the game. An update on his condition should become available shortly.
Jul 16 2017Correa is out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins.Manager A.J. Hinch is just building in a day of rest for the budding superstar, who recorded one hit in seven at-bats and walked three times in the first two games of the series. Marwin Gonzalez will man shortstop in place of Correa on Sunday.
Jul 7 2017Correa went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run homer Friday against the Blue Jays.Correa crushed his 18th homer of the season to start the scoring for the Astros on a night in which they destroyed Aaron Sanchez. He's had a true breakout as an elite performer in his third season, as he's slashing .320/.397/.560.
Jul 6 2017Correa (thumb) is back in the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays, batting third and playing shortstop.The All-Star shortstop ultimately missed just one game due to the thumb ailment that knocked him out of Tuesday's contest prematurely. He'll resume his normal role in the Astros lineup as he looks to build upon his stellar .320/.397/.553 batting line.
Jul 5 2017Correa (thumb) will be available off the bench Wednesday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Manager A.J. Hinch said the Astros were exercising precaution by holding Correa out of the starting lineup Wednesday, one day after the All-Star shortstop jammed his left thumb into a catcher's shin guard. "He's doing fine," Hinch said. "He arguably should play, but he's not." This news bodes well for Correa's availability Thursday.
Jul 5 2017Correa (thumb) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Braves, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa left Tuesday's game after injuring himself on a headfirst slide into home plate, and is currently dealing with a left thumb injury. Although the shortstop received clean test results from the X-rays, the team will give him the day off while Marwin Gonzalez draws the start in his stead. He should be considered day-to-day and could return to the lineup for Thursday's series opener in Toronto.
Jul 4 2017Correa was removed from Tuesday's game against the Braves after appearing his injure himself on a headfirst slide into home plate, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.The injury occurred when Correa slid headfirst into home plate and appeared to be tagged on the face by the opposing catcher in the top of the fourth inning. The severity of the injury is currently unknown, though that information should become available shortly. He was replaced by Marwin Gonzalez at shortstop, with Norichika Aoki taking over in left field.
Jul 4 2017Correa exited Tuesday's game against the Braves early with left thumb discomfort.It initially appeared that the injury occurred to Correa's head on a headfirst slide into home plate, but it's now being revealed that it was his thumb that caused the Astros to remove their star shortstop from the game in the top of the fourth inning. With the Astros leading the Braves 7-0 at the time of his removal, it's entirely possible that it was simply a precautionary move. Correa will be listed as day-to-day for the time being.
Jul 4 2017X-rays on Correa's injured left thumb came back negative Tuesday.It seems that Correa has avoided a serious injury, as the tests on his injured left thumb revealed no structural damage. We'll simply have to wait to see if the 22-year-old is able to suit up for Wednesday's series finale against the Braves. He remains a true day-to-day case.
Jul 4 2017Correa (thumb) announced Tuesday that his injured thumb is "a little sore" but that he hopes to play Wednesday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa's thumb injuring is proving to be a minor ailment as the young shortstop is hopeful to not miss any time at all. We'll have to wait and see if manager A.J. Hinch inserts Correa into the starting lineup Wednesday or if he opts to give him a day of rest.
Jul 2 2017Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI during Saturday's win over the Yankees.Correa has been a rock-solid fantasy asset since entering the league, and this season he's taking his game to another level. The shortstop sports a .311/.388/.543 slash line with 17 home runs, 55 RBI and 56 runs. It would be nice to see him more active on the bases, as he hasn't attempted a steal all season. However, he owns a 1.079 OPS through his past 19 games and has recorded a hit in 17 of those contests, including 11 straight, so it's tough to nitpick.
Jul 2 2017Correa went 4-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Yankees.Correa extended his hitting streak to 12 games while delivering two of his team's nine extra-base hits in this one. With 11 runs scored and 15 more driven in during those 12 contests, Correa has certainly made the most of the opportunities presented by batting in the heart of baseball's second-most potent lineup. It's scary to think that the 22-year-old shortstop likely still hasn't hit his ceiling with this season's .319/.394/.554 line.
Jun 29 2017Correra went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run home runs during Thursday's win over Oakland.The two blasts bring Correa up to 16 homers, 53 RBI and 54 runs with a .309/.388/.537 slash line. The shortstop is posting high-end fantasy results and living up to the billing that made him an early-round selection leading into the season.
Jun 21 2017Correa went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and a pair of runs in Wednesday's win over the A's.While Correa has yet to even attempt a stolen base this year after breaking double digits in each of the past two seasons, he's doing his finest work yet at the plate. Every component of his .301/.378/.521 slash line represents a career high, and with 14 homers already, he's on pace to blast past his career-best 22 from two seasons ago.
Jun 14 2017Correa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Texas.Correa is at the top of his position with 12 home runs and 41 RBI while posting an .879 OPS, second only to the Reds' Zack Cozart. Batting cleanup in what has been one of baseball's best offense, a healthy Correa should make a push for his first 100-RBI season in 2017.
Jun 11 2017Correa is out of the lineup Sunday against the Angels.After closing out May in grand fashion, Correa has labored through the Astros' first nine games of June, recording just seven hits in 37 at-bats (.189 average). Manager A.J. Hinch is hopeful that a day out of the lineup will provide a needed reset for Correa, who should return to the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Rangers. Marwin Gonzalez will spell Correa at shortstop Sunday.
Jun 4 2017Correa went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Sunday's win over Texas.Correa extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a home run to center off Martin Perez in the third inning, his 11th long ball of the season. During the hit streak, Correa is 20-for-44 (.455), raising his average to .315 for the season. His 39 RBI ranks first in the majors among shortstops. It seems like the entire Astros lineup is clicking right now, and Correa has been right in the middle of it all. Keep riding this hot streak.
Jun 3 2017Correa went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's 7-1 win over Texas.Correa is absolutely scorching right now. Since a two-game absence due to illness, the shortstop has hit safely in eight straight games, including multiple hits in six of them. He's 17-for-36 with four homers, two doubles, 13 RBI and eight runs scored during the streak. His 37 RBI lead the team which isn't too surprising considering how often Jose Altuve (.391 OBP) gets on base in front of him.
May 31 2017Correa went 3-for-6 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Wednesday's 17-6 rout of the Twins.His first-inning blast, Correa's ninth homer of the season and third in the last week, got the Astros started on what wound up being a six-homer, 19-hit attack. The 22-year-old shortstop is well on his way to a career season, sporting a .316/.390/.524 slash line through 48 games.
May 29 2017Correa went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and three runs during Monday's win over Minnesota.Correa has strung together five consecutive multi-hit games with two doubles, two homers, six RBI and five runs. The set-and-forget shortstop sports a .311/.386/.514 slash line with eight bombs, 30 RBI and 33 runs for the campaign, and the 22-year-old Correa has a good chance of posting career-best numbers hitting in the heart of the Houston lineup.
May 26 2017Correa went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Tigers.Correa had missed the previous two games due to an illness, but showed up hale and hearty Thursday and snapped an 0-for-12 skid with his three-hit effort. The dynamic shortstop and the Astros primary cleanup batter has seven homers and 26 RBI through 42 games.
May 25 2017Correa (illness) is playing shortstop and batting cleanup Thursday against the Tigers.Correa is apparently feeling better after missing the two games due to an illness. The 22-year-old, who is slashing .276/.361/.455 with six homers and 24 RBI across 156 at-bats this season, will face Justin Verlander in his return to the lineup.
May 24 2017Correa (illness) is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers.Although the Astros insisted that the young shortstop was available Tuesday night despite not starting, he continues to be held out of action Wednesday. Consider Correa day-to-day while Martin Gonzalez fills in for him at shortstop.
May 23 2017Correa is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Tigers.Correa has just three hits in his past 20 at-bats, so he'll get a night off Tuesday to right the ship. Marwin Gonzalez will move into the lineup to replace him at shortstop.
May 23 2017Correa is sitting out of Tuesday's contest with the Tigers due to an illness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.Manager A.J. Hinch noted that Correa still may be available to play later in the game, so it doesn't seem like this issue is too severe. Consider the stud shortstop day-to-day for the time being. Marwin Gonzalez will take over at shortstop in his stead.
May 20 2017Correa went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 5-3 loss to Cleveland.Correa has knocked in at least one run in eight of his last nine games, plating 12 men during that span while scoring 11 runs himself. The 22-year-old shortstop has a 1.156 OPS in 16 games this month and with six homers in 38 games, is on pace to reach a third consecutive 20-homer season.
May 17 2017Correa is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Marlins.With Wednesday's game kicking off at 12:10 p.m. ET, Astros manager A.J. Hinch decided it was an optimal time to give the star shortstop a break, even with the team heading into an off day Thursday. After a slow start to the season, Correa has been dialed in throughout May, submitting a 1.120 OPS while scoring 16 runs and driving in 15. Marwin Gonzalez will spell Correa in the field in the series finale.
May 12 2017Correa went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run during Thursday's win over the Yankees.Correa is scorching hot and currently sports a .353/.413/.676 slash line with 14 runs, 10 doubles, four home runs and 16 RBI through his past 17 games. The 22-year-old shortstop is in line to post a career-best fantasy showing, and he offers a reliable floor hitting in the heart of a potent lineup.
May 10 2017Correa went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Atlanta.Correa, whose three-run home run was the winning hit Tuesday, provided the winning knock for a second straight game with a two-run double in the fifth inning. He's been on an extra-base hit roll of late. Wednesday's two-baggers give him 10 for the season, all coming in the last 14 games, and he's slugging .585 during that stretch.
May 9 2017Correa went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in the first inning of Tuesday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.That bomb -- the first of back-to-backs, with Carlos Beltran following him up -- set the tone for this game early on. Unsurprisingly, Correa has seen a course correction after hitting just .196/.292/.250 over his first 15 games; he's since played in another 15 contests, hitting .323 with three homers, 12 RBI and 12 runs over that span.
May 5 2017Correa went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs during Thursday's loss to Texas.While the double was just the 10th extra-base hit of the season for Correa, and his three home runs and .422 slugging percentage don't jump off the page, the shortstop is heating up. Correa has eight runs, seven doubles, six RBI and a .366/.422/.610 slash line over his past 10 games, so after a slow start, it's encouraging to see him posting high-end fantasy numbers again.
May 3 2017Correa went 4-for-5 with a double and a homer in Wednesday's win over the Rangers.It's been a slow start to the year for Correa, as this was really the first time in 2017 we've seen him flash the sort of game-changing hitting he's capable of. Considering his background, it's quite reasonable to think that this might be the game that ignites Correa on a hot streak that erases the memories of his early-season power outage.
May 2 2017Correa went 1-for-3 with a two-run double in the seventh inning of Monday's 6-2 win over Texas.Correa's double, his sixth extra-base hit in the last eight games, was just the fourth time in 30 at-bats he's delivered a base knock with runners in scoring position. It was also his first hit with a man on third base with less than two outs. He'd been 0-for-9 in such situations entering Monday's game, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports. Correa said he's been chasing pitches outside the zone, trying to make a play instead of taking a walk. The numbers at Baseball Info Solutions backs that up. Entering Monday, the shortstop had swung at 32 percent of the pitches he saw outside the zone, up from 29 percent in 2016. "I feel like it's more about being patient at the plate," he said. "Try to take the pitches I don't want to hit and be able to put in play the pitches I want to hit and be able to put it in play hard."
Apr 29 2017Correa went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Friday's 9-4 win over Oakland.Correa has now hit safely in five straight games with at least one extra-base hit in four of them. This recent run comes after a stretch in which he was hitless in 19 at-bats.
Apr 23 2017Correa went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run during Sunday's win over Tampa Bay.It's been an awful start for the shortstop, as he's currently sporting a .197/.286/.295 slash line. However, Correa is locked into the heart of the lineup and posted a respectable .812 OPS during his age-21 campaign, so there is no questioning his talent and fantasy upside. Additionally, the homer probably proves he's completely past the hand contusion that cost him three games earlier this week.
Apr 20 2017Correa (hand) is back in the lineup, starting at shortstop and hitting cleanup Thursday against the Angels.He missed four games with the hand issue, but he had been available off the bench in each of the last two games and was expected to make his return in this contest. Alex Bregman moves back to third base as a result. Confidently deploy Correa in all formats.
Apr 20 2017Correa (hand) was available if needed according to manager A.J. Hinch, Brian McTaggart of the Astros' official site reports.Hinch is hopeful that Correa will be ready to play Thursday.
Apr 20 2017Correa went 0-for-2 with a walk and a strikeout in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Angels.Correa had missed the previous three games with a hand contusion but was back to batting cleanup for the Astros on Thursday. Hand injuries can be tricky, so don't be alarmed if he's not hitting immediately upon his return to the duty.
Apr 19 2017Correa (hand) is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Angels, however he thinks he will be back in Thursday's lineup, the Houston Chronicle's Jake Kaplan reports.He will miss his fourth straight game with the injury, but it sounds like he could be ready to return for the series finale. Correa took swings Wednesday in the batting cage. Alex Bregman will start at shortstop and hit sixth in his absence.
Apr 18 2017Correa's hand injury is not expected to land him on the 10-day disabled list, according to manager A.J. Hinch, Brian McTaggart of the Astros' official site reports.Correa, who thought he'd be available Monday, is not in Tuesday's lineup. Hinch appears confident the shortstop's absence will only be "for a couple of days."
Apr 18 2017Correa (hand) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Angels, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa will miss his third straight game due to a right hand contusion, though the Astros don't consider the issue to be anything overly serious. He'll likely test out his hand again Wednesday, at which point a decision will be made on whether he'll be able to play or not. As manager A.J. Hinch told MLB Network Radio on Tuesday, the 22-year-old is "truly day-to-day." Expect an update on his status tomorrow, while Alex Bregman should continue to fill in at shortstop during Correa's absence.
Apr 18 2017Manager AJ Hinch reiterated Tuesday that Correa (hand) is truly day-to-day, MLB Network Radio reports. "Getting grip strength back is tough and until he has that, I'm going to sit him," Hinch said.He has sat out the last two games, and it sounds like a situation where he will continue to test his hand before each game, and the field staff will make a decision based on the results. The Astros face right-hander Ricky Nolasco in Tuesday's game against the Angels. If Correa is unavailable once again, Alex Bregman will likely get the start at shortstop.
Apr 17 2017Correa (hand) is not in the lineup Monday against the Angels.Correa was originally expected to return to the lineup Monday, but he'll get an extra day of rest as MLB.com's Julia Morales reported the shortstop was still feeling discomfort in his bruised right hand while attempting to hit. He'll test his hand out again during batting practice Tuesday and if all goes well, he could return to action later that evening, though the Astros may be cautious and ease their star back. Alex Bregman will continue to man shortstop while Correa remains out.
Apr 16 2017Correa (hand) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Athletics, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa was fortunate to avoid any structural damage to his right hand after being struck by a pitch Saturday in the ninth inning, but he came away with a contusion that will apparently prevent him from swinging the bat in the series finale. Rain is threatening the Oakland area and could eventually result in Sunday's scheduled contest getting postponed, but if the game is played, Alex Bregman will slide over to shortstop in place of Correa, while Marwin Gonzalez enters the lineup at third base.
Apr 16 2017Manager A.J. Hinch said he expects Correa (hand) to play Monday against the Angels, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa was scheduled to sit out Sunday's series finale against the Athletics while tending to the bruised hand, but after the game was postponed due to rain, the shortstop didn't actually miss out on any action. Assuming Correa experiences no setbacks with the hand during batting practice Monday, look for him to face no restrictions during the upcoming week, making him a fairly safe play in season-long lineups.
Apr 15 2017Correa exited Saturday's game in the ninth inning after being hit on the hand by a pitch, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.The young shortstop was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts heading into his final at-bat when a Frankie Montas fastball went awry and caught Correa on the hand. It's unclear whether this is just a precautionary measure or if it is a more serious issue, but the situation should be clarified once he is examined by team doctors.
Apr 15 2017Correa (hand) has been diagnosed with a right hand contusion after his x-rays came back negative, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa left Saturday's game in the ninth inning after being hit on the hand by a pitch, but it seems that he avoided any serious problems. His availability for Sunday's contest remains uncertain, so consider the young shortstop day-to-day for the time being.
Apr 10 2017Correa went 3-for-4 in Monday's 6-0 loss to the Mariners.Correa stood apart from the rest of the offense which managed just four hits (three singles, one double) in seven innings against Seattle starter James Paxton. The shortstop is emerging from a chilly start, banging out five hits, albeit all singles, over the last two games. Unfortunately, the Astros are lower half in batting (.232, 18th), on base percentage (.306, 20th) and slugging (.380, 20th). Nobody's getting on base for Correa to knock in, and he's not hitting with authority.
Apr 3 2017Correa went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two RBI in Houston's 3-0 win over the Mariners on Monday.Correa has provided decent speed and power from the shortstop position in his first two seasons, but at age 22, fantasy owners are expecting much more. He should be a safe early-round pick with tons of upside. Correa is right there with Corey Seager of the Dodgers in terms of most exciting and talented young shortstops in the game.
Mar 26 2017Correa (illness) will play shortstop and bat in the cleanup spot in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.The Astros held Correa out Saturday while he battled flu-like symptoms, but one day off was all he needed to make a full recovery. Correa, who has been away from the Astros for much of March while playing for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic, shapes up as a solid early-round selection in drafts after hitting .274 with 20 homers, 96 RBI and 13 steals in 2016.
Mar 25 2017Correa will be out of action Saturday due to flu-like symptoms, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.Correa returned to Grapefruit League play Friday after blasting three home runs for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic. He'll be looking to build off a steady 2016 campaign in which he slashed .274/.361/.451 and knocked in 96 RBI. Consider him day-to-day until his symptoms subside.
Mar 23 2017Correa is scheduled to rejoin the Astros' spring training lineup Saturday after returning from the World Baseball Classic, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa sizzled in WBC play for Puerto Rico, going 8-for-20 with three home runs and nine RBI. Getting some work in Grapefruit League action will affirm his value as a borderline first-round pick in many mixed fantasy leagues.
Mar 21 2017Correa went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Puerto Rico's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Netherlands at Dodger Stadium in Monday's semi-final game in the World Baseball Classic, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.The 441-foot homer, which was measured as the ninth-longest in Dodger Stadium in the Statcast era, tied the game after the Netherlands took an early 2-0 lead. He also scored the game's winning run. Correa, a shortstop by trade, flashed his defense, too, making a key stop at third base. For the tournament, the Astros' young star has been a key cog in the Puerto Rico lineup, hitting .400 (8-for-20) with three homers and nine RBI.
Feb 27 2017Correa went went 1-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's game against the Braves.Houston's projected starting shortstop was delayed at the onset of camp after having his wisdom teeth removed, but is at full strength now.

Feb 21 2017Correa (teeth) logged a workout Tuesday and was able to take about 50 swings in the batting cage, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.Correa's start to spring training was delayed after he had his wisdom teeth removed last week, but his activity Tuesday suggests any lingering pain in his mouth is no longer an issue. The shortstop should soon resume doing the same workouts as the rest of his teammates and doesn't look to be in any danger of missing the beginning of Grapefruit League play.
Feb 17 2017Correa (teeth) might be limited for the first few days of Astros spring workouts after having his wisdom teeth removed Thursday according to manager A.J. Hinch, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.The club still expects him to report on Friday, before the team starts full-squad workouts Saturday. After a brief rest, the elite fantasy shortstop should be ready to go for normal preseason prep.
Feb 17 2017Correa (teeth) reported to spring training Friday but will not resume baseball activity for a couple of days, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.The star shortstop's arrival to Astros camp was delayed after he had to have his wisdom teeth removed Thursday. Fortunately, it appears Correa will only need a few days to recover before resuming full baseball activity. More updates on Correa will follow once he's ready to return, which will likely come early next week.
Oct 2 2016Correa is out of the lineup Sunday against the Angels.Correa will give way to Marwin Gonzalez at shortstop for Houston's season finale Sunday afternoon. Correa had a rough time at the plate Saturday, as he went 0-for-5 and struck out twice.
Sep 24 2016Correa (shoulder) is in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.An ill-fated diving attempt at shortstop Friday resulted in an injury to Correa's left shoulder, the same one that cost him time earlier this month, but the 22-year-old won't even miss a start. Correa has posted just a .677 OPS this month, but his second-half line still sits at .290/.371/.451.
Sep 23 2016Correa prematurely exited Friday's game against the Angels with an injury to his left shoulder, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN reports.Correa suffered the injury while diving for a ball in the field. Worse yet, it's the same shoulder that caused him to miss four games earlier in the month with inflammation. If he's forced to miss further time, Marwin Gonzalez or Colin Moran may fill in at short.
Sep 18 2016Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Mariners.Correa plated Houston's second run with his seventh-inning blast off Ariel Miranda. The home run was the first of the month for Correa, who also notched his first multi-hit game of September. The 21-year-old phenom has now cleared 20 home runs in each of his first two seasons, although it took him 141 games this year compared to 92 last year. Despite the reduced power production, he's still one of the better fantasy options at shortstop with 92 RBI, 13 steals and a .272/.361/.458 slash line.
Sep 12 2016Correa will be in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.Correa was limited to just one at-bat Sunday as he took the field for the first time since Tuesday, but it appears his removal had more to do with the lopsided score at the time he was taken out -- 9-0 in favor of the Cubs -- than the health of his shoulder. The Astros have not yet released their lineup for Monday's contest, but Correa figures to start at shortstop and hit cleanup as he has done regularly the last several months.
Sep 11 2016Correa (shoulder) in the lineup at shortstop and hitting in the cleanup spot Sunday against the Cubs, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.Left shoulder inflammation had sidelined Correa for the previous four games, but as manager A.J. Hinch suggested earlier last week, the star shortstop was able to return to action before the series with the Cubs came to a conclusion. The injury had made it difficult for Correa to swing without much pain, but he's apparently made significant progress over the last couple of days. Though Correa may be in line for a day off at some point during the upcoming week, he appears primed to take back an everyday role.
Sep 10 2016Correa (shoulder) is once again not on the Astros' lineup Saturday for their matchup with the Cubs.While Correa is technically day-to-day, he has been struggling to even take swings since suffering a shoulder injury. He will miss his fourth consecutive game on Saturday. The team was originally optimistic the 21-year-old would be able to return to the lineup at some point for this weekend's series. Alex Bregman will start in his place Saturday.
Sep 9 2016Correa (shoulder) is technically day-to-day but he has been unable to take swings since suffering the injury, the Houston Chronicle's Angel Verdugo reports.He can't extend his swing due to the shoulder inflammation that will sideline him for the third day in a row Friday. Correa said he is feeling better and making progress, but if he can't swing Friday, it's hard to envision him being in Saturday's lineup, although the hope is that he will return sometime during this weekend's series.
Sep 9 2016Correa (shoulder) is out of the lineup Friday against the Cubs, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa missed the last two games with left shoulder inflammation, and though manager A.J. Hinch expressed optimism that the 21-year-old would be able to return to the lineup during the weekend set against the Cubs, it won't be for the series opener on Friday. It appears as though the shortstop is still eyeing a return in the upcoming series though, while Alex Bregman figures to be a likely candidate to receive the starts in Correa's place should he miss any more time.
Sep 7 2016Correa is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Indians, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.It'll be a rare day of rest for Correa, who hasn't been out of the lineup since June 10-12 against the Rays. He'll be replaced at shortstop by Alex Bregman on Wednesday, and it would be a major surprise if Correa isn't back in action for Thursday's series finale.
Sep 7 2016Correa is dealing with inflammation in his left shoulder and will return to Houston to visit with team doctors, Biran McTaggart of MLB.com reports.Manager A.J. Hinch referred to Correa as "a little beat up right now" and intimated that the shortstop may have aggravated his shoulder while making a diving play earlier in the week. Correa will head back to Houston on Wednesday for further evaluation, but Hinch noted that he expects Correa to be back with the team Friday, though it's unclear when, exactly, he might return to the lineup. "We're optimistic that he's going to be able to play this weekend against the Cubs at some point," Hinch said. Alex Bregman will get the nod at shortstop Wednesday in Correa's place.
Aug 24 2016Correa (illness) is in the lineup Wednesday against Houston, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa exited Tuesday's game due to illness, going 0-for-3 at the plate prior to departing. The ailment apparently isn't anything serious, as Correa will start at his usual shortstop spot and bat cleanup against Pittsburgh's Gerrit Cole.
Aug 23 2016Correa left Tuesday's game with an illness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.Manager A.J. Hinch suggested he pulled Correa to be sure the 21-year-old is well rested for Wednesday's 12:35 pm Eastern start. Correa went 0-for-3 with a strikeout prior to exiting the game.
Aug 14 2016Correa went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays.The Astros only managed seven hits in total, so Correa should consider himself lucky he was able to cross the plate even once, The performance extended his hitting streak to 10 games, during which he's raking at a .395 (15-for-38) clip.
Aug 14 2016Correa went 1-for-3 with a two-RBI double in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays.The slugging shorstop was responsible for all of the Astros' runs on the day, opening the scoring with a two-bagger that plated Alex Bregman and Jose Altuve in the opening frame. The red-hot Correa now has a nine-game hitting streak and is slashing .314/.386/.588 over his first 51 at-bats of August.
Aug 11 2016Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo shot and three runs scored on Thursday against the Twins.Correa has homered in three-straight games and now has 18 on the year -- four off from his career-best. The talented shortstop has followed up his rookie performance with another spectacular campaign. Among shortstops, he ranks seventh in home runs and first in RBI with 78.
Aug 9 2016Correa homered and knocked in four runs in a 2-for-4 game in Tuesday's win over the Twins.Correa matched his RBI high for the season, tying his June 28 performance against the Angels in which he went 3-for-4 with a double and a homer. The performance pushed him to 74 RBI on the season, which puts him two ahead of Colorado's Trevor Story for the major league lead at the shortstop position.
Jul 23 2016Correa went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and two runs Saturday against the Angels.Correa's 15th a big fly of the campaign helped extend the Astros lead to six runs in the fifth inning of a victory. He's now hit safely in seven of his last nine contests, and he's slashing .266/363/.470 on the year.
Jul 20 2016Correa went 1-for-2 with three walks and three RBI Wednesday against Oakland.The shortstop drew a bases-loaded walk in the second and added a two-run bloop single with the bases loaded in the eighth. Correa leads the team with 62 RBI, including 29 since June 20, which is most in MLB during that span.
Jul 19 2016Correa went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored during Monday's 7-4 loss at Oakland.Correa has been productive as the Astros' cleanup hitter, going 30-for-107 (.280) with six homers, 26 RBI and a .932 OPS over the last 30 days. While Tuesday's matchup against southpaw Dillon Overton appears favorable, Correa's production against left-handers (.632 OPS) has dipped considerably this season.
Jul 8 2016Correa went 2-for-5 with a homer, three runs and three RBI Friday against the Athletics.Correa got the Astros on the board with a two-run blast in the fourth inning of a game the team would eventually win. He's now reached base safely in nine of his last 10 games, and he's slashing .264/.360/.469 on the year.
Jun 29 2016Correa homered as part of a 3-for-4 game with two runs scored and four RBI in Tuesday's win over the Angels.Correa also doubled, making this the fourth time in his past nine starts in which he has hit both a home run and a double in the same game. He is on a major hot streak and has raised his batting line from an already respectable .254/.354/.421 to .265/.363/.473 in that short time. Power can be streaky, and there should be no doubt that Correa is capable of reeling off a hot one like this at any time.
Jun 28 2016Correa was named American League Player of the Week after hitting .333 with four doubles, three home runs and nine RBI for the period ending June 26.Correa joins Tyler White, Jose Altuve and Colby Rasmus as Astros who have won the AL Player of the Week award this season. Overall, the 21-year-old shortstop is hitting .258/.356/.455 with 12 home runs, 43 RBI and eight stolen bases. Correa is a big reason Houston has surged to a 16-8 record in June and have pulled within a game of the AL Wild Card.
Jun 20 2016Correa hit his 10th home run as part of a 2-for-3 game with two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's win over the Angels.Correa's power is down this season, but the 21-year-old is still one of just seven major league shortstops in double-digits in 2016. He's still showing solid plate discipline too, with a 12.5 percent walk rate. The main reason Correa's numbers have been down thus far is a 24.4 percent strikeout rate, up six points from 2015. It figures that major league pitchers would adjust to Correa a bit -- if he can make the counter-adjustments necessary to start making consistent contact again, he'll be right back to where he was in his brilliant rookie campaign last year.
Jun 14 2016Correa (ankle) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals, Angel Verdejo Jr. of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa missed the previous three games with a sprained left ankle, but it looks like he benefitted from the team's off day Monday and is ready to get back into the lineup. He'll return to his usual spot in the field at shortstop and bat cleanup Tuesday against St. Louis lefty Jaime Garcia.
Jun 12 2016Correa (ankle) is out of the lineup for the third straight game Sunday against the Rays.Correa tested his ankle Saturday and reported "it didn't feel great, but it felt good." His ankle clearly hasn't improved enough to feel comfortable playing however, as he remains out Sunday. Marwin Gonzalez will start at shortstop and bat second in his stead.
Jun 12 2016Correa (ankle), who is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rays for the third straight game, expects to return to a starting role for Tuesday's series opener with the Cardinals, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa likely would have been ready to go Sunday if it were a playoff game, but with the Astros in the midst of a long season and an off day looming Monday, the team decided it was best to prolong the star shortstop's rest. After taking part in batting practice and fielding drills prior to Sunday's game, Correa should be available in a pinch-hitting capacity, if needed.
Jun 11 2016Correa (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.Marwin Gonzalez will make another start at short in place of Correa, who is still recovering from a sprained left ankle. Correa is listed as day-to-day, so there is hope he'll be able to avoid a stint on the disabled list, but the Astros won't rush him back into the lineup before his ankle is ready for game action.
Jun 10 2016Correa (ankle) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa was listed as day-to-day after exiting Thursday's game with his ankle injury, and it turns out the setback will prevent him from taking the field for at least one day. Marwin Gonzalez will get the start at shortstop in Correa's place.
Jun 9 2016Correa left Thursday's game against the Rangers in the fifth inning with a left ankle injury, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.Correa suffered the injury when he stepped on the side of first base and was taken out of the game after being evaluated by team trainers. He was able to walk off the field under his own power, but more information surrounding the injury and Correa's status should be released soon.
Jun 9 2016Correa was diagnosed with a left ankle sprain Thursday and he is listed as day-to-day, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.The star shortstop exited Thursday's game against the Rangers after awkwardly stepping on the side of first base in the fifth inning. Fortunately, he was able to walk off the field under his own power and according to McTaggart's follow-up, Correa may have avoided an injury that would cause him to miss significant time. His status heading into Friday's series opener in Tampa Bay is in some question at this point, so owners will want to confirm his status in the lineup prior to first pitch. If Correa is held out of Friday's contest, Marwin Gonzalez would likely take over at shortstop.
Jun 5 2016Correa went 3-for-5 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Saturdays' 6-5 extra-inning victory over the A's.The young shortstop is starting to come on at the plate, and was the hero Saturday after singling in George Springer with the winning run in the 12th inning. The 21-year-old now has his average up to .267 on the strength of a seven-game hitting streak, and curiously has all three of his triples on the season over the first four games of June. Correa also has four multi-hit outings over his last six contests.
May 29 2016Correa went 1-for-1 with a decisive three-run homer run as a pinch hitter during Sunday's 13-inning win over the Angels.Correa was expected to get the day off, but manager A.J. Hinch opted to give him a pinch-hit appearance and the shortstop responded hitting a three-run homer that was decisive for Houston's win. Correa has gone 5-for-38 (.135) over the past 10 games, but perhaps the home run will boost his confidence as he tries to leave an extended sophomore slump behind him.
May 29 2016Correa is out of the lineup Sunday against the Angels, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.The shortstop's sophomore slump has lingered longer than expected, as he's gone just 4-for-37 (.108) over his past nine games to sink his season average to .241. He's likely just getting Sunday's game off to clear his head, enabling Marwin Gonzalez to pick up a start at shortstop. Look for Correa to be back in the lineup Monday against the Diamondbacks.
May 14 2016Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.The 21-year-old went deep for the first time since May 6 versus the Mariners, and tallied his second multi-hit game in the last four contests. Correa now has half of his six homers on the year in May, and is slashing .275/.387/.457 on the season.
May 6 2016Correa went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and RBI single in the 5-3 victory over Seattle on Friday.This is the 21-year-old's second three-hit game since Wednesday. He has two home runs and five RBI in the last three games. All the sudden, he's slashing .288/.403/.500 with five homers, 15 RBI, 16 runs and four stolen bases in 104 at-bats. That's more like what fantasy owners were expecting when they made Correa a first-round pick before the season.
May 4 2016Correa went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer, three RBI and a trio of runs scored Wednesday in a 16-4 blowout of the Twins.After homering three times in the first two games of the season, Correa proceeded to slump pretty badly -- over a 24-game span prior to Wednesday, he went 19-for-84 (.226) with no homers, just one steal, six RBI and eight runs. Those aren't exactly the superstar stats we were hyped up to expect from him, but it's not surprising to see a 21-year-old embarking on his first full season in the majors hitting some peaks and valleys. With this big game, his average (.276) and OPS (.857) are almost exactly in line with last season's numbers.
Apr 17 2016Correa will be out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.Correa has played in all 12 of the Astros' games to date, and after going 1-for-14 over the most recent four contests, manager A.J. Hinch decided it was best to give the 21-year-old a day off. He'll be replaced in the lineup by Marwin Gonzalez, while Colby Rasmus will move up to occupy Correa's usual No. 3 spot in the order.
Apr 7 2016Correa went 4-for-5 with two solo home runs during the Astros' 16-6 loss to the Yankees on Wednesday.The star shortstop hit both of his home runs off Michael Pineda to bring his total to three on the young season. Many fantasy owners invested a mid-first round pick on Correa, so his hot start is certainly encouraging.
Mar 15 2016Correa hit his first home run of the spring Monday against the Nationals.Correa's solo shot off Nationals starter Joe Ross accounted for the Astros' only run of the game. The 21-year-old is 9-for-19 (.474) through seven Grapefruit League games and is primed for a big season hitting out of the three-hole in Houston's lineup.
Mar 4 2016Correa made his Grapefruit League debut Friday, going 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored against the Cardinals.Correa, who is working on hitting the ball up the middle, said he's seeing ball well, which is all that matters at this point. "The preparation has been there," the 21-year-old said. "I've been very confident in my preparation and just focus on the season. Spring training is to get ready in order to have a great year and help your team eventually win a championship."
Feb 27 2016Correa is slated to bat third in manager A.J. Hinch's lineup, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.This is confirming what was already highly probable, but there is some question of whether the Houston lineup will go Jose Altuve, George Springer, Correa to start, or if Hinch will break them up with a left-handed hitter. Whatever is decided, it appears Correa's spot in the lineup will not be affected. The 20-year-old occupied the three-hole nearly everyday in the second half of 2015.
Nov 17 2015Correa won the American League Rookie of the Year Award on Monday, becoming the first Astros player to win the award since Jeff Bagwell in 1991, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.Correa hit .279 with 22 doubles, 22 home runs, 68 RBI and 14 stolen bases in only 99 games for Houston. Among AL rookies, he ranked first in homers, slugging (.512) and OPS (.857), while ranking second in RBI and on-base percentage (.345) and third in batting average. The 21-year-old garnered 17 first-place votes to edge Francisco Lindor, who had 13.
Oct 9 2015Correa (knee) said he will play Sunday in Game 3 of the ALDS against the Royals, Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle reports.The 21-year-old fouled a ball off his right knee during Friday's Game 2, as he did in Thursday's Game 1, and Correa admitted he is dealing with some swelling and pain. However, Correa brushed off the notion he could miss time, saying that he will be good to go following Saturday's off day. He has gone 2-for-9 with two singles and four strikeouts so far in the series.
Oct 3 2015Correa was brilliant on Friday, going 3-for-4 with a home run, a triple, a steal, four RBI and four runs scored in a 21-5 win over the Diamondbacks.This was just a crazy game for the Astros and Correa was in the heart of the barrage. The rookie continues to impress, as he provides in every facet of the game. There might be no better shortstop option going into drafts next season with the potential Correa has shown.
Sep 26 2015Correa had a huge game Saturday, going 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI.The rookie now has an incredible 21 home runs in 92 games, and it could be tough to argue against Correa being the first shortstop off the board in next year's drafts.
Sep 19 2015Correa went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in a 10-6 win over Oakland on Saturday.The rookie is having a fantastic season and he's got to be the front-runner for AL Rookie of the Year at this point. In 86 games played this season, Correa has 18 homers and 12 steals to go along with a .275 average. If you average those out to a full season, that's a 30-plus home run, 20-plus steal pace. Those statistics alone would easily make him the number one shortstop in fantasy.
Sep 11 2015Correa went 1-for-3 with a walk, a steal and a run scored in a 3-2 loss to the Angels on Friday.Correa has had a rough start to the month, as he's only hitting .212 coming into the game. A player this young is bound to have some regression and the final month of the season may be a tough one with teams getting more used to his aggressive style. With that said, Correa is still one of the best shortstops in baseball and is surely going to be an asset in fantasy playoffs over the next few weeks.
Sep 7 2015Correa hit his 17th home run and knocked in four runs in Monday's loss to Oakland.Correa now has 17 home runs on the season and a .281/.346/.514 line after the 1-for-4 performance. Despite playing in only 75 games, he is tied for second among major league shortstops with Ian Desmond and Troy Tulowitzki in home runs. His .859 OPS leads all shortstops with at least 200 plate appearances by 47 points as the number one pick is living up to the hype.
Sep 5 2015Correa went 3-for-4 in a 3-2 loss to the Twins on Saturday.Correa was one of the few sources of offensive firepower for the Astros on Saturday. The rookie shortstop continues to impress in his initial campaign, maintaining consistency and furthering his development at the plate over the course of the season. Correa has now hit safely in five out of his last eight games and boasts multi-hit performances in four of those contests.
Aug 31 2015Correa (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup Monday against Seattle.Correa missed four games due to a strained left hamstring, but is "ready to go" Monday as the Astros open a three-game series at home against the Mariners.
Aug 30 2015Correa (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup Sunday.He'll miss his fourth straight game as a result of a strained left hamstring, while Marwin Gonzalez gets the nod at shortstop at bats second for the Astros on Sunday afternoon.
Aug 29 2015Correa (hamstring) said he lobbied to get the start Saturday, the Houston Chronicle's Jose de Jesus Ortiz reports.While Correa is out of the lineup again Saturday, it certainly sounds like he feels good enough to play, which means the team is probably just being extra cautious. Look for him to return to the lineup in the coming days. Marwin Gonzalez got the start at shortstop Saturday.
Aug 29 2015Correa (hamstring) is out of the lineup Saturday.This will be the third game in a row that he has missed with hamstring soreness, and there was also an off day mixed in. Marwin Gonzalez will get the start at shortstop and hit second Saturday.
Aug 28 2015Correa is not in the lineup Friday against the Twins.Correa also took a seat in Wednesday's contest against the Yankees, so it's a bit concerning to see the 20-year-old out of the lineup both before and after Thursday's day off. There's no word yet on any issues though so it may just be another day of rest, as Marwin Gonzalez will take over at shortstop and bat seventh.
Aug 28 2015Correa is dealing with soreness in his left hamstring, Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa was held out of the lineup Wednesday, and after a day off Thursday is once again taking a seat Friday as he deals with the ailment. It doesn't appear to be anything more than a minor issue though, so a return over the weekend remains a possibility.
Aug 26 2015Correa is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees.Correa's last day off came at the beginning of July, so it's likely just a scheduled day of for the young shortstop. As a result, the Astros will turn to Marwin Gonzalez at shortstop, batting second for the club.
Aug 20 2015Correa opened the scoring with a leadoff homer Wednesday and finished it by defeating the Rays with a 13th-inning walk-off single.The power contributions had slowed for Correa recently, as he hadn't homered since Aug. 6. He has, however, now hit safely in five consecutive games, and Correa remains one of the most exciting fantasy options at shortstop. If you've got him in a keeper league, well done.
Aug 7 2015Correa went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Thursday's win over the A's.Correa launched a go-head homer in a three-run eighth that gave the Astros a 4-2 lead. It was Correa's second home run in four days and sixth in the last 10 games. The 20-year-old rookie is the youngest position player in the majors and the only shortstop in the last century to hit 14 home runs in his first 51 games.
Jul 31 2015Correa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks on Friday.Correa just continues to get it done as he now has 10 homers in just 45 games. With the ability to steal and the power he provides out of the shortstop, Correa is arguably the number one option at the position going forward. The only question is just how high he will go next year in drafts, as he's playing like a first-round talent this season.
Jul 20 2015Correa went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, an RBI and three runs scored during Houston's 10-0 rout of Texas on Sunday.The 20-year-old rookie will carry a modest five-game hitting streak into the Astros' upcoming three-game series that begins Tuesday against Boston.
Jul 6 2015Correa had a big day offensively Sunday afternoon, going 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and his fifth stolen base of the season in the Astros' 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.Correa's home run -- his seventh of the season -- was especially clutch, as it tied the game in the seventh inning. The 20-year-old shortstop has lived up to his enormous hype thus far, as he's hitting .315/.339/.593 with seven home runs, 19 RBI and five steals through his first 25 big league games.
Jul 3 2015Correa was 3-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in the Astros' win over Boston on Friday night.The 20-year-old shortstop is the talk of the town these days. He was out of the starting lineup on Wednesday and the Astros had an off day on Thursday following 22 consecutive starts, giving him a short breather, but it didn't cool him off. He's now hitting .300 with six home runs and 17 RBI since making his major league debut on June 8, and is already generating Rookie-of-the-Year discussions.
Jul 1 2015Correa is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.There has been nothing to suggest this is anything other than a routine day off for the 20-year-old Correa after 22 consecutive starts to begin his major league career. Marwin Gonzalez will take over at short in place of Correa, will be afforded a bit of an extended rest with the Astros not playing Thursday.
Jun 28 2015Correa was a triple short of the cycle Saturday, going 3-for-5 with a run scored, two RBI and his fifth home run in 19 games.He continues to make the majors look easy, slashing .301/.326/.566 in his first 83 at-bats. Despite the fact that his competition was given a two month head start, Correa seems intent on figuring into the AL Rookie of the Year race.
Jun 23 2015Correa hit his fourth home run in Tuesday's win over the Angels, part of a 3-for-6 night with four RBI and three runs scored.Correa is hitting a robust .308/.338/.569, and that power has been the biggest shock from the 20-year-old shortstop. He now has nine major league extra-base hits and a whopping 13 home runs and 41 extra-base hits in just 67 games across all three levels he has played at this year. Correa struck out for the 16th time in 15 games, a moderate concern, but nearly everything else has been overwhelmingly positive from the 2012 first overall pick.
Jun 19 2015Correa doubled, walked, stole three bases and scored twice during Thursday's 8-4 win over the Rockies.The 20-year-old shortstop became the second-youngest player in the past 100 seasons (behind Ricky Henderson) with three steals in a game. He's also reached base safely in all 10 games he's played thus far with the Astros.
Jun 18 2015Correa went 3-for-5 with a double, two-run homer and three RBI during Wednesday's 8-4 victory at Colorado. It was his third straight multi-hit game for the Astros.Correa's first-inning home run off Rockies starter Kyle Kendrick was his third of the season. The 20-year-old shortstop has a 1.016 OPS through his first nine big league games thus far.
Jun 17 2015Correa is batting .324/.343/.529 with a double, two home runs, four RBI and a stolen base through eight games for Houston.The 20-year-old has reached base in every game he's played for the Astros and he's hit safely in seven of them. With two more hits in Tuesday's 8-5 win over Colorado, Correa now has three multi-hit games this season.
Jun 13 2015Correa is batting second in Houston's lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.It took all of four games for Correa to hit his way from around sixth in the lineup to near the top of the order. The 20-year-old registered 12 total bases in his first four career games and it seems that will be enough to give A.J. Hinch confidence to move him up. This should increase Correa's ability to score runs and give him more plate appearances as the season goes on.
Jun 12 2015Correa hit his second career major league home run against the Mariners on Friday.The rookie shortstop is showing why he was drafted first overall in 2012, as he has two home runs through his first four major league games. Correa was the only man Felix Hernandez retired in a game where the Astros scored eight in the first inning, but the 20-year-old joined in on the fun with a solo home run off reliever Joe Beimel in the second inning.
Jun 9 2015Correa had his first standout game as a major leaguer Tuesday against the White Sox, as he went 2-for-4 with his first home run and first stolen base of his career.This is why Houston picked Correa first overall in 2012. Correa is entering an American League shortstop pool that doesn't have a qualified hitter with an OPS above .750 or a slugging percentage above .425. It isn't hard to imagine Correa being the best hitting shortstop in the American League over the rest of the season.
Jun 9 2015Correa went 1-for-4 with an RBI infield single and a strikeout in his MLB debut on Monday.Correa, who hit sixth in the lineup, drove in the Astros' only run on a night they mustered only five hits and struck out 16 times in the 3-1 loss. Expect the 20-year-old shortstop to move up in Houston's batting order sooner rather than later as the team looks to stay atop the AL West standings amidst a five-game losing streak.
Jun 8 2015Correa will bat sixth in his Astros debut Monday against the White Six, Brian McTaggert of MLB.com reports.Correa finally received the call to the majors Monday after four seasons in the minors. The 20-year-old was a highly regarded prospect, and considered the top by many. In 24 games with Triple-A Fresno this season, the 20-year-old shortstop bated .276/.345/.449 with three home runs and 12 RBI, and he'll likely take on the everyday duties at that position moving forward. Unfortunately for the youngster, his first go around in the majors will come against the White Sox's ace, Chris Sale.
Jun 8 2015Correa was recalled from Triple-A Fresno on Monday.Arguably the top prospect in all of baseball, the 20-year-old Correa is expected to immediately step in as Houston's starting shortstop, taking at-bats away from Jonathan Villar and Marwin Gonzalez. Correa posted a .276/.345/.449 slash line for Triple-A Fresno this season, with three home runs, three stolen bases and a 14:12 K:BB ratio in 113 plate appearances (98 at-bats). The former No. 1 overall pick struggled in rookie ball during his first professional season, but he has since posted excellent numbers at every level of the minors. He figures to make his big-league debut Monday night against Chris Sale and the White Sox.
Jun 7 2015Correa is being called up to the majors, according to Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle.Expect him to start at shortstop immediately. Correa is arguably the best prospect in the game and could provide immediate help in power and steals.
Jun 1 2015Correa was held out of the lineup at Triple-A Fresno on Monday due to a sore right heel, Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle reports.GM Jeff Luhnow quickly dismissed any concern that Correa's injury was related to the fractured fibula he suffered last June, so for the moment, the Astros' top prospect just looks to be day-to-day. The 20-year-old hasn't been dominating Triple-A pitching since his May 11 promotion to Fresno (.241/.307/.430 batting line over 88 plate appearances), but if his numbers begin to improve upon his eventual return to the lineup, his big-league debut could arrive at some point this summer.
May 17 2015Correa recorded three hits, including two doubles, for Triple-A Fresno on Saturday night.The move to Triple-A hasn't proven to be a challenging one thus far for Correa, who is batting .348 over five games since his promotion. If he continues to excel, it wouldn't be surprising if Correa earned a call-up to the big club within a couple of weeks.
May 11 2015The Astros promoted Correa to Triple-A Fresno on Monday.Correa earned his first trip to the Triple-A level by posting a .385/.459/.726 slash line to go along with seven home runs, 15 doubles, and 32 RBI in 29 games with Double-A Corpus Christi. If he continues to crush the ball, he may remain with Fresno only until the Astros are comfortable he will not attain Super Two status -- and maybe not even that long.
Jan 23 2015Correa said Friday that his surgically-repaired ankle is back to 100 percent, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.Correa's impressive 2014 campaign was cut short when he broke his ankle in June, but it looks like the setback is no longer a hindrance. Correa will spend spring training with the Astros in order to gain some experience in a big-league setting, but given that he has yet to advance past the High-A level and is coming off the injury, it's a near certainty that his 2015 campaign will begin in the minors.
Nov 11 2014Astros GM Jeff Luhnow said Tuesday that Correa (ankle) will attend major league camp for spring training, the Houston Chronicle reports.This was expected, but Luhnow confirmed that both Correa and top pitching prospect Mark Appel will again be in big league camp. Correa suffered a fractured right fibula in late June, officially ending his season, but he's been running, fielding grounders and taking part in other baseball-related activities in recent months and should be a full-go come February.
Oct 15 2014Astros GM Jeff Luhnow said Wednesday that Correa (ankle) is progressing well and should be fully recovered for the start of spring training.Now close to four months removed from suffering a fractured fibula, Correa is running, fielding grounders and taking part in other baseball-related activities. The top overall pick in the 2012 first-year player draft, Correa hit .325/.416/.510 with six homers, 57 RBI and 20 steals in just 62 games before suffering the injury, and despite the lost development time, he's still widely considered one of the top prospects in baseball.
Jun 25 2014Correa underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a fractured fibula and will miss the rest of the season, Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle reports.The fractured fibula had not previously been confirmed by the team, but GM Jeff Luhnow informed the media Wednesday that the 19-year-old did indeed suffer a break during Saturday's game. It's a tough blow for Correa and it will obviously delay his development, but the Astros do not think the injury will having a lasting effect. In 62 games with High-A Lancaster this season, Correa hit .325/.416/.510 with six homers and 20 steals.
Jun 24 2014Correa (ankle) was mentioned by Astros' general manager Jeff Luhnow when he remarked that he's "very confident that this is not the type of injury that will have long lasting effects," the Houston Chronicle reports.There's fear that Correa may have suffered a broken right fibula during a High-A Lancaster game Saturday. He was placed on the 7-day DL on Sunday and only speculation has come about as to how severe his injury truly is. Lunhow's words are certainly a good sign, but the exact extent of Correa's injury is still undetermined.
Jun 22 2014Correa (ankle) was placed on the 7-day DL on Sunday and will head to Houston in the coming days for further examination, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.Correa was examined at a hospital Saturday night following his game with High-A Lancaster, when he suffered the injury while sliding into third base. The Astros' medical staff understandably wants to take a closer look at him before announcing a diagnosis and potential return timetable, but it appears Correa could be headed for a long-term absence. The 19-year-old is hitting .325 with six homers and 56 RBI over 61 games at Lancaster, putting him in the mix for a promotion to Double-A Corpus Christi prior to suffering the injury.
Jun 21 2014Correa was helped off the field and subsequently carted from the dugout to the outfield gate after suffering an apparent ankle injury sliding into third base during Saturday's game at High-A Lancaster, JetHawks' broadcaster Jason Schwartz reports.The severity of Correa's injury is unclear, but he was carted off with a towel draped over his head and his head in his hands according to Schwartz. A diagnosis will likely follow further tests Saturday night.
Jun 21 2014Correa may have suffered a broken right fibula in Saturday's game at High-A Lancaster, Eric Smith of the Antelope Valley Press reports.The injury occurred on a triple when Correa made a late slide into third base. The Astros have not provided confirmation yet regarding the early reports of Correa's injury, but a fractured fibula would potentially end his 2014 campaign.
Mar 31 2014Correa went 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Sunday's exhibition against Veracruz of the Mexican League.Correa hit second in the lineup for the Astros and showed he was fully healthy after being hit by a pitch on his left hand on March 19. The 19-year-old shortstop is expected to open 2014 with High-A Lancaster, but he's likely to move quickly through the Astros' system. Correa has the talent to break camp with Houston in 2015, though a major league debut in mid-2015 appears more likely.
Mar 20 2014Correa (hand) said his X-ray showed no fracture, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.The 21-year-old was hit on his left hand by a pitch during Wednesday's exhibition, but he indicated afterward that the hand felt good and X-rays confirmed that he did not suffer any broken bones. It certainly provided a bit of a scare, but the 2012 No. 1 overall pick should be fine to start the season, likely at High-A Lancaster.
Mar 20 2014Correa (hand) was reassigned to Astros' minor league camp on Thursday.Correa was 6-for-28 (.214) this spring with two home runs and three RBI over 15 appearances. The 19-year-old shortstop will likely report to High-A Lancaster or Double-A Corpus Christi to open 2014.
Mar 19 2014Correa will undergo an x-ray on his left hand after he was hit by a pitch on Wednesday, Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle reports.Correa indicated his hand felt good, so it seems that the x-ray is more precautionary than anything else. The shortstop has had a disappointing spring training following a strong 2013 season, batting only .214. He has hit two home runs but has also struck out 10 times in 28 at-bats. The 19 year-old is likely headed to either High-A or Double-A.
Mar 13 2014Correa had a big day at the plate Thursday against the Blue Jays, going 2-for-5 with two home runs and 3 RBI.Correa was just as impressive in the field, ranging to his left on a tough play at shortstop before snagging the ball down to get the out at first base. Only 19-years-old, Correa is already showing glimpses of being a star at the major league level. He's still at least a year away from contributing in Houston, however, as he's expected to open the 2014 season with High-A Lancaster before an eventual promotion to Double-A.
Mar 6 2014Correa is likely to open the 2014 season with High-A Lancaster, Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle reports.Astros' general manager Jeff Luhnow could be convinced otherwise if Correa has a terrific spring, but he was quoted as saying "right now, from where I am, in my mind, he's going to Lancaster." If that's the case, Correa should perform well in the hitter-friendly California League, which could lead to a promotion to Double-A sooner rather than later.
Feb 6 2014Correa hopes to skip a level and open the 2014 season with Double-A Corpus Christi, MiLB.com reports.The No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 MLB Draft posted a .320/.405/.467 slash line in 117 games for Low-A Quad Cities last season. Next on the ladder is High-A Lancaster, but Correa's hoping to skip right through to the Double-A level. He has an invite to major league spring training, and his performance this spring could very well determine where he opens the 2014 season. We wouldn't bet against Correa proving that he's ready for Double-A ball, but he's still only 19 years old, and is thus highly unlikely to play in the majors before September, if at all this season.
Jan 15 2014Correa has been invited to attend major league camp during spring training.Just 19-years-old, Correa is not expected to break his first major league camp with the Astros. How he performs, however, will likely determine his next destination, be it with High-A Lancaster or Double-A Corpus Christi. Jonathan Villar is expected to start at shortstop for Houston on Opening Day.
Sep 5 2013Correa went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Low-A Quad Cities' Midwest League Western Division semifinal series playoff win over Cedar Rapids Wednesday night.Correa performed well in his first taste of big league postseason action after finishing the regular season with a sterling .320/.405/.467 slash line over 117 games. He will look to lead the River Bandits to a series win Thursday night when the team travels to Cedar Rapids.
Aug 9 2013Correa's combination of hitting ability, power and build reminds scouts of Manny Machado, according to Baseball America.The 6-foot-4, 190-pound shortstop continues to impress with a .331/.412/.478 slash line over 94 games for Low-A Quad Cities. The Machado comparison is interesting, as it allows us to speculate on the type of stats we might see from Correa early on in his MLB career. Despite the comparison, Correa is still likely two seasons away from cracking the Astros roster.
Jun 24 2013Correa continues to tear apart the Midwest League as he went 3-for-5 for Low-A Quad Cities on Sunday.Since April, Correa is 60-for-166 (.361) with 10 doubles, two triples, and a home run. He's also walked 17 times giving him an OBP of .420 in the last two months. It's entirely possible that he finishes out the season at High-A given his performance to this point.
Jun 6 2013Correa had the best game of his season going 3-for-4 with a home run and five RBI for Low-A Quad Cities on Thursday.Correa added a double, two runs and walk to his strong performance. Things just keep improving for last year's first overall draft pick. The young shortstop was also named to the Midwest League All-Star Game earlier in the week.
