Minnesota's superstar shortstop has missed time in each of the last two seasons due to plantar fasciitis. Does his recurring injury point to the Twins needing to make a long-term defensive switch?

The Twins featured Carlos Correa, Byron Buxton and Royce Lewis in the same lineup Saturday night for the first time since July 2. But it won’t be two days in a row that the band is all back together as Correa and Buxton are out of the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Cincinnati Reds.

“Frankly, I think if we had noticeably more time, he would have gone out on a rehab assignment,” Twins Manager Rocco Baldelli said. “But he also was adamant that, ‘I will be ready. I will come back and play. I don’t have to play in minor league games.’ The confidence level in the way that he talked about it probably played a big part in it.”

Star Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa knew he was playing some of his best baseball when he started dealing with right plantar fasciitis. Finding himself on the injured list during that hot stretch hurt Correa perhaps as much as the heel.

RBI performance in his most recent game (going 1-for-5), will take the field for the Minnesota Twins versus Joey Cantillo and the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday.

The shortstop has missed over two months of playing time due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot, last playing in a game on July 12. Twins management provided the update to reporters after the team's 8-4 loss at Target Field on Friday night.
