Star Twins infielder leaves game after being hit on wrist
Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa exits with a wrist injury
Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa had a very concerning reaction after being hit by a pitch on his right wrist during Thursday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Correa was hit by Arizona’s Bryce Jarvis in the top of the seventh inning Thursday. His immediate reaction was to hold his wrist and look to the dugout while shaking his head. Correa did not even try to take first and essentially pulled himself from the game.
The Twins did get some preliminary good news, as initial tests on the wrist came back negative.
Baseball fans will probably note how similar this looked to the injury that will knock Mookie Betts out of action for as much as two months. The Twins can only hope Correa did not suffer something similar.
Correa has been on a real hot streak over the last month or so and has seen his average jump to .306 entering Thursday’s action. His 37 RBI rank third on the team.
