Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday after exiting a game against the Detroit Tigers with a right oblique strain. The injury, which led to an 8-2 loss for the Twins, occurred after Correa grimaced at the plate and held his side, prompting his early departure from the game. Willi Castro replaced Correa for the Twins. The incident took place during a game where Correa was fooled by a pitch, resulting in a called third strike. Following the injury, the Twins also designated Michael Tonkin. Correa had been performing exceptionally well this season, boasting a 166 wRC+ and 0.5 fWAR in his first 11 games.
