Correa played through a similar injury Wenyen Gabriel Jersey in his left foot last season and (not coincidentally) struggled through the worst full season of his 10 years in the majors, so both the shortstop and the Twins seemed intent on letting Correa fully heal up before getting back to action. Though Correa initially stated that this current injury wasnt as painful as his 2023 plantar fasciitis, the discomfort has continued to linger until this past week, when Correa told and other media that a new treatment method had allowed him to walk and run on his right heel.

Some reinforcements could also be coming later in early October on the pitching side, as had a 20-pitch bullpen se sion on Friday as he recovers from a left forearm strain.
