Twins' Carlos Correa: Slow, but healthy, start to spring
Rotowire
Correa went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's spring training tie with Tampa Bay. He's hitting .063 (1-for-16) in six games this spring.
While he'd like to have a better start to the spring at the plate, Correa has looked healthy at shortstop after playing just 86 games last season due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Correa hit .308 with a .896 OPS in the first half and was named to the AL All-Star team before his foot issues, so he could have a bounce-back season if he can stay on the field.
Correa declared himself ready for spring training Saturday after spending the first part of the offseason rehabbing from plantar fasciitis in his right foot, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
The 30-year-old played through the injury during the final weeks of the regular season, but he indicated his recovery and rehab this winter was "more natural" than the previous offseason, when he was working back from plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Correa had a .905 OPS in 2024 but was limited to 86 games due to the injury, and his durability remains a concern heading into 2025.
