Carlos Correa Doubles In Return, Frustrated By Plantar Fasciitis
2 weeks agoMinnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (foot), who went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI, and two runs scored in Friday's lineup return, says that he's been bothered by discomfort in his left foot for the past four months due to plantar fasciitis. "It's just been hard to find a way to make it go away", the 28-year-old admitted. Correa had two maintenance days to rest his balky heel earlier this week, but the issue doesn't appear to be going away any time soon. This injury dates back to mid-May when Minnesota opted to play things day-to-day, and he hasn't gone on the injured list at any point. The two-time All-Star hasn't looked himself across 571 trips to the dish, slashing a career-low .230/.310/.402 with 18 home runs, 29 doubles, and 64 RBI, plus his defense hasn't been the same since his Houston Astros days. Fantasy managers might have to plan around more days off in the home stretch as the first-place Twins try to preserve Correa for the postseason however they can.
