Correa sustained the injury during a game against the Detroit Tigers, which resulted in an 8-2 loss, on Friday night.
Correa, a two-time recipient of the All-Star recognition, stands out as one of the leading players on the roster of the reigning champions of the American League Central division. However, the team is currently struggling at the plate with a league-low batting average of .184. Despite this, Correa individually boasts a batting average of .306 with one home run and four RBIs.
The player was unable to participate in the last 11 games of last season due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot. However, he did make a comeback for the playoffs, with an impressive record of .409 batting average (9 hits out of 22 at-bats) and four runs batted in (RBIs). Despite this strong performance, his team, the Minnesota Twins, lost to the Houston Astros in the division series after defeating the Toronto Blue Jays in the wild-card series.
It is anticipated that Willi Castro will receive the majority of playing opportunities at shortstop. He currently has a batting average of .103, but he made the final out of the game on Friday when he took over pitching duties.
“It’s akin to a sudden blow to the stomach,” expressed Twins outfielder Byron Buxton following the game.ESPN News Services
The team known as the Minnesota Twins has temporarily removed shortstop Carlos Correa from their active roster for a period of 10 days due to a strained right oblique muscle.
The injured Twins were missing infielder Royce Lewis, who was placed on the injured list two weeks ago due to a strained quadriceps.
On Saturday, the Twins implemented two additional changes to their roster. They brought up right-handed pitcher Matt Bowman from St. Paul and released righty Michael Tonkin from their team. While Bowman had a strong performance in Triple-A with zero runs allowed in six innings, Tonkin faced difficulties playing for both the Mets and the Twins at the start of the season.
