  • Carlos Correa exits with bruised right finger
    Carlos Correa left Sunday’s game against the Astros with a right finger contusion.

    Advice: The bad news is that Correa did have to leave the contest after being hit in his right hand. The good news is that it’s just a bruise, and imaging returned negative for the 29-year-old shortstop. Consider Correa day-to-day at this stage, but his status will likely be determined by pain tolerance and swelling for the coming days. Rotoworld Sunday, 12:18 pm
     
  • Dealing with bruised finger
    Correa had X-rays come back negative and was diagnosed with a right finger contusion after exiting Sunday's game against the Astros, Audra Martin of Bally Sports North reports.

    Advice: Correa was struck by 96-mph pitch during the opening frame of Sunday's contest but appears to have avoided a serious injury. The 29-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener against the White Sox. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:13 pm
     
  • Departs after HBP

  • Carlos Correa leaves after HBP vs. Astros
    Carlos Correa left Sunday’s game versus the Astros with an apparent injury.

    Advice: Correa was hit in the hand by a pitch, and after being visited by trainers, the shortstop was forced to leave the game. The Twins will assuredly have the star shortstop undergo testing to determine the severity of the injury. Kyle Farmer is replacing Correa in the lineup. Rotoworld Sunday, 11:27 am
     
  • Taking seat against lefty Sunday
    Cruz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: The shortstop was hit by an Edwin Diaz fastball in the ninth inning Saturday, but there's been no indication Cruz sustained a significant injury from being plunked. Even so, the Pirates will give the lefty-hitting Cruz the afternoon off Sunday while southpaw Sean Manaea takes the hill for the Mets. Jared Triolo will check in at shortstop for Cruz, who had started in each of the previous six games while going 8-for-22 with two home runs, one double, three walks, one stolen base, five RBI and three runs.

  • Hitting bench Sunday
    Kreidler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Kreidler had started at shortstop in both of the past two games and four of the previous six games overall, but he'll give way to Zach McKinstry in the series finale. Since getting called up from Triple-A Toledo on June 11, Kreidler has produced a weak .405 OPS over 18 games, so he won't have much of a case for seeing regular playing time once Javier Baez (spine) likely returns from the injured list during the upcoming week.

  • Swipes two bags in win
    Neto went 1-for-5 with an RBI and two steals in a 7-0 win over the Cubs on Saturday.

    Advice: Neto hit an RBI single and swiped two bases in a productive third inning. He has stolen four bases over his past 10 contests but has gone just 7-for-37 at the plate over that span. On the year, the shortstop is hitting .243 with 11 home runs, 39 RBI, 33 runs scored and 14 steals over 319 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:05 pm
     
  • Hits first career homer in win
    Lee went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Astros.

    Advice: Lee took Hunter Brown deep in the third inning for his first career major-league home run. The 23-year-old has hit the ground running with the Twins, going 7-for-15 with a home run and six RBI over his first four games. While it's unclear exactly how much time Royce Lewis (groin) will miss, the rookie has made the most of his time in the big leagues so far. Rotowire.com Saturday, 6:13 pm
     
  • Cruz blasts 13th home run in loss to Mets Saturday
    Oneil Cruz went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run against the Mets on Saturday.

Cruz was hitting just .145 with two home runs in 76 at-bats against left-handed pitching entering Saturday. He’s hitting .244 with a .737 OPS and 39 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:34 pm
