Correa is at shortstop and batting third for Saturday afternoon’s matinee at Target Field following a three-game absence due to back tightness. The 30-year-old defensive stalwart is hitting .256 (10-for-43) with three homers in 11 games since returning from the concussion injured list back on May 23.

Correa has been battling a lingering back issue for the past few days, but it doesn’t sound like he’s heading back to the injured list. The 30-year-old shortstop figures to return to Minnesota’s lineup at some point this weekend. He’s day-to-day for now.

Correa was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup with a sore back, and the Twins claim they’re being extra cautious with their starting shortstop and plan to have him back in action on Friday. However, Correa has battled injuries throughout his career, and back injuries tend to linger, so even though Correa has blamed the batter’s box in Detroit for his back pain, it’s a situation we should monitor. Brooks Lee will start at shortstop and bat eighth on Thursday.

It’ll be Brooks Lee taking over at shortstop on Wednesday night against the Athletics. Correa has started 11 of 12 contests since returning from the concussion injured list back on May 23. The move sounds precautionary in nature since he was in the club’s original lineup. Back issues can be tricky matters so fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on his status heading into Thursday’s series finale.
