The Minnesota Twins placed shortstop Carlos Correa on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
The two-time All-Star was out after one inning of Monday’s loss to the Cincinnati Reds when he aggravated the injury and made a sudden stop after catching TJ Friedl’s popup in short left field. Interim manager and bench coach Jayce Tingler said Tuesday that Correa was undergoing tests, including an MRI.
Correa, who turns 29 on Friday, has been suffering from the injury since May.
Twins third baseman Royce Lewis was also not in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Reds. He is believed to be struggling with a strained left hamstring from day to day.
Lewis originally suffered the injury while hitting a grounder early in the game, Tingler said. He appeared to retire a little later when he ran out a double-play ball, but he remained in the game until the injury was aggravated by an awkward swing in the eighth.
Minnesota recalled outfielder Trevor Larnach from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding trade to place Correa on the injured list.
