Chicago, IL – The Minnesota Twins are on a winning streak, having won seven consecutive games. Their momentum is set to receive a significant boost with the return of injured player Carlos Correa. The infielder is expected to be activated off the 10-day injured list before Monday night’s game against the Chicago White Sox, a source from the team confirmed.
Correa, who has been sidelined since April 12 due to a right intercostal strain, is anticipated to rejoin the Twins lineup soon. His return comes at a crucial time for the team, as they look to maintain their current winning streak. The Twins will make room for Correa by optioning rookie Austin Martin to Triple-A St. Paul.
Batting .306 with one home run and four RBIs in 44 plate appearances this season, Correa’s presence is expected to bolster an already formidable offense. In the past seven games, the Twins have been hitting .348, scoring 8.1 runs per game, a significant improvement from their earlier struggles at the plate.
The Twins, who were 7-13 a week ago, have seen a resurgence in their performance, with veterans like Carlos Santana, Willi Castro, and Kyle Farmer finding their rhythm at the plate. The addition of Correa is sure to add even more depth and strength to their lineup as they face off against the White Sox, who have recently turned their season around.
Correa’s return is just the beginning of a series of comeback stories for the Twins, as other high-profile players like Jhoan Duran and Justin Topa are also expected to rejoin the team. Duran has been sidelined due to a right oblique strain, while Topa has been recovering from left knee tendinitis. Their return will boost the Twins’ bullpen as they continue their push for success in the season.
With Correa back in action and the team firing on all cylinders, the Twins are poised for an exciting matchup against the White Sox and beyond. As more key players return from injury, the team’s prospects for the rest of the season are looking brighter than ever.
