Correa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland.
Correa has started every other game since returning from the injured list Saturday, as the Twins clearly don't want to overload him as he comes back from a two-month absence due to plantar fasciitis. Brooks Lee will be at shortstop Tuesday as Minnesota looks to even the series.

Twins' Carlos Correa: On bench Sunday
Rotowire
Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
The veteran shortstop went 1-for-2 with a double Saturday in his return from a two-month absence due to plantar fasciitis, and he'll head to the bench Sunday for the early afternoon series finale. Correa didn't play in any rehab games prior to being reinstated from the injured list, so it won't be surprising if the Twins continue to get him regular rest days as he gets back up to speed.

Twins' Carlos Correa: Set to return Saturday
Rotowire
Correa (plantar fasciitis) will be activated from the injured list before Saturday's game, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Correa has been taking live batting practice against minor-league pitchers and working in the field the past few days. He's been sidelined since the All-Star break due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He'll likely return to starting at shortstop, but he may be rusty at the plate from his extended time off. However, it's a good sign for the Twins, who could use a healthy Correa to ensure they make the playoffs.

Twins' Carlos Correa: Officially activated
Rotowire
The Twins reinstated Correa (heel) from the 10-day injured list Saturday.
Plantar fasciitis in Correa's right foot has kept him out of action since the All-Star break, but he began making significant progress in his recovery after beginning a new treatment earlier this month and has now been cleared to return to the active roster. The 29-year-old infielder didn't appear in any rehab games before being reinstated, so there's a chance he shows a bit of rust during his first several games back, but he still figures to remain productive after slashing .308/.377/.520 through 316 plate appearances prior to his injury. DaShawn Keirsey was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.
Twins' Carlos Correa: Turning corner after new treatment
Rotowire
Correa said Monday that he's "very encouraged" with his progress after beginning a new type of treatment for the plantar fasciitis in his right foot five days ago, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Correa has sprinted three of the last four days and has come out of the workouts feeling better than he has in a long time. The shortstop believes he could be ready to play in games soon, though he's without a clear timeline to do so. Correa has been sidelined since the All-Star break.

Twins' Carlos Correa: Expects to return this season
Rotowire
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.
Correa (heel) will not return from the 10-day injured list before the end of August, as he has not been able to run with cleats on or at full speed, Bobby Nightengale of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports
On a positive note, Correa was able to run at about 80 percent intensity for 30 yards while wearing tennis shoes, so he at least looks to be taking a step in the right direction in his recovery from plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Correa was initially placed on the injured list over the All-Star break and was expected to be in line for an abbreviated absence, but he's now missed more than two months due to a lack of progress.
Twins' Carlos Correa: Still no timetable for return
Rotowire
Correa (heel) ran Tuesday and has been hitting and fielding, but there's still no timetable for his return, Phil Miller of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports. "He's still having some discomfort. As cliche as it sounds, it's truly day-to-day on how he's going to feel and what we can do with him," said Twins head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta.
Correa was placed on the 10-day injured list July 20 due to right plantar fasciitis. It initially didn't appear he would be out long, but he still has soreness after running. He may not return until sometime in September as a result.
Correa (heel) ran at full speed for the first time in a week Thursday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "We need to get him to where he's comfortable running on a daily basis, not having soreness the next day," said Twins head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta.
Correa was placed on the 10-day injured list July 20 due to right plantar fasciitis. It initially didn't appear he would be out long, but he was still experiencing pain in his heel in early August while jogging. It sounds like he's ramped up his activity in recent days, but there's still no timeline for when he might begin a rehab assignment.

Twins' Carlos Correa: Still not running full speed
Rotowire
Correa (heel) is unlikely to join the Twins during their four-game series against the Guardians that begins Friday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "He's ramping up his running right now," said Twins manager Rocco Baldelli. "He's not sprinting yet. When he's able to sprint and run the way he needs to, he's going to go on a rehab assignment and go get some at-bats. Then he'll be on his way back at that point. He has not hit that point yet."
Correa did some jogging last weekend and appeared to be on track for a rehab assignment, but he experienced some pain in the plantar fasciitis in his right heel. Since he hasn't started running at full speed, it sounds like he could still be out several more weeks.
