Carlos Correa

Still not running full speed

SSMinnesota Twins

August 7, 2024

Correa (heel) is unlikely to join the Twins during their four-game series against the Guardians that begins Friday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "He's ramping up his running right now," said Twins manager Rocco Baldelli. "He's not sprinting yet. When he's able to sprint and run the way he needs to, he's going to go on a rehab assignment and go get some at-bats. Then he'll be on his way back at that point. He has not hit that point yet."
