Carlos Correa SS | MIN
Twins' Carlos Correa: Expects to return this season
Correa (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 while running since landing on the injured list in July.
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.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Racks up three hits in loss
Henderson went 3-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Rays.

This was Henderson's fourth multi-hit effort over seven games in September -- he's 12-for-28 (.429) with three home runs and seven RBI in that span. The shortstop is up to a .282/.367/.540 slash line with 36 homers, 85 RBI, 108 runs scored and 18 steals through 142 games this season. Henderson's recent success has come since he was moved back to the top of the order versus right-handed pitchers.
