Overview

  • Carlos Correa has been activated from the 7-day concussion injured list and is set to play in Friday night’s game against the Kansas City Royals.
  • Byron Buxton, who also sustained a concussion in a May 15 collision with Correa, remains on the injured list but has begun batting practice.
  • The Twins demoted infielder Ryan Fitzgerald to Triple-A St. Paul to make room for Correa’s return to the roster.
  • Minnesota has relied on standout pitching and unexpected contributions, including Kody Clemens’ 1.070 OPS, to fuel a 13-game winning streak and their strongest two-week stretch in 34 years.
  • Twins pitchers have allowed the fewest runs and homers in MLB this May, posting a 2.85 ERA, their second-best monthly mark this century.
