Carlos Correa went 2-4 with a home run in his return from injury on Friday against the Royals, but he's notably left off the Twins' lineup for Saturday's game. After more than a week on the IL, it seems like Minnesota is taking the cautious approach to ease him back in.

Here's the batting order:

It's also worth noting that it's the second straight game Minnesota has left Carson McCusker off the lineup. After dominating triple-A for the St. Paul Saints, the Twins finally called him up last week, but he has received only two at-bats, once as a pinch hitter, and he made his first career start in a game that was later rained out.

The Twins won Friday's game 3-1 on a walk-off home run from Ty France. They'll look to make it two in a row with first pitch at 1:10 p.m. CT on Saturday with Zebby Matthews starting on the mound.
