Carlos Correa Taking Rare Off Day
6 months agoMinnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa is getting a rare day off on Sunday as the team faces the Astros in Houston. With Correa out, Willi Castro will make the start at the 6 for the Twins and will bat sixth against Astros right-hander Hunter Brown. Correa will get a breather after starting in each of the team's last 21 games. He wrapped up the month of May on Friday by hitting .255 (25-for-98) with three home runs, nine doubles, two triples, 14 RBI, 10 walks and 22 strikeouts in 110 plate appearances over 27 games. The two-time All-Star is currently healthy and is a must-start when he's in the starting lineup in most fantasy leagues. Castro has been much better against lefties in 2024 but his hitting a respectable .260 (51-for-196) overall with four homers and seven stolen bases in a utility role for the Twins. He's never faced Brown in his career.
