The Twins placed Correa on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right oblique strain.

Correa suffered the injury during an at-bat in the third inning of Friday's loss, and it will officially cost him at least 10 days. The team is still awaiting the results of his MRI and will establish a timeline once they come back. Willi Castro will take over as Minnesota's primary shortstop while Correa recovers, opening the door for Kyle Farmer and Jose Miranda to see more action at the hot corner.

Baez isn't in the Tigers' lineup for the first game of Saturday's twin bill versus Minnesota.

After striking out three times and failing to record a hit during Friday's contest, Baez will take a seat to kick off Saturday's activities. Zach McKinstry will get the nod instead at shortstop and bat seventh.

Twins 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.

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 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 his replacement at shortstop and will likely remain there while Correa is out, opening up third base for Kyle Farmer or Jose Miranda.

Correa was removed from Friday's game against the Tigers due to a right oblique strain, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Correa was grabbing at his right side after striking out in the top of the third inning and was replaced at shortstop by Willi Castro as the Twins took the field in the bottom half of the frame. The severity of the 29-year-old's injury remains unclear, but Kyle Farmer may see increased reps at shortstop should Correa's oblique force him onto the injured list.

Hamilton went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Orioles.

Hamilton notched his first stolen base of the season following a fourth-inning single, but that highlight was wiped out when he failed to step on second base on what looked like a routine double play in the eighth inning. The next batter (Anthony Santander) launched a two-run homer to give Baltimore the lead. From a fantasy perspective, the stolen base far outweighs the defensive lapse, though it'll be important for Hamilton to keep mistakes in the field to a minimum if he's to maintain a significant role in the wake of the season-ending shoulder injury to Trevor Story.

Henderson went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Thursday in a 9-4 extra-inning win against Boston.

Henderson was hitless until the 10th frame, when he smashed a two-run shot to left field to break a 3-3 tie. The long ball was his third of the campaign and extended his hitting streak to a modest three games. Henderson has notched one extra base hit in each contest during that stretch, and he has six extra-base knocks among his 11 total hits so far this season.

Gonzalez has X-rays come back negative on his left wrist Thursday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Gonzalez was held out of Thursday's lineup after suffering a wrist injury Wednesday. The issue isn't expected to be serious, which was at least initially confirmed by the X-ray results. However, he was wearing a splint Thursday, so the potential length of his absence remains unclear.

Witt went 4-for-5 with two homers, five RBI, two additional runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 13-3 win over the Astros.

It was a day to remember for Witt -- the 23-year-old shortstop smacked a two-run homer off Hunter Brown in the first inning before tacking on three more runs with a second long ball off Bryan Abreu in the seventh. Witt has looked like an MVP candidate early in the year, going 19-for-53 (.358) with a 1.169 OPS, four homers and three stolen bases through his first 13 games. With the Royals looking like an improved team this year, Witt should be able to build upon his breakout 2023 campaign.

Grissom (groin/hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

It had been reported previously that Grissom would start playing in rehab games sometime this weekend, and now it's been revealed that Friday is the day. The infielder missed all of spring training with hamstring and groin issues but is now ready for game action and figures to be back before the end of the month if all goes well. The plan is for Grissom to be Boston's everyday second baseman once fully ramped up, although the club hasn't ruled out using him some at shortstop since Trevor Story (shoulder) is out for the year.

Gonzalez injured his left wrist during Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Gonzalez said he doesn't believe his injury to be serious, though he is wearing a splint and will get an X-ray on his wrist just to be sure. He's currently viewed as day-to-day, but a better idea of when he might be able to play again will likely come once the results of his imaging come back.
