Carlos Corera left Friday's game against the Pirates with what looked like could be a significant leg injury. Well, he's back in the Twins' lineup after missing only one game.

As expected, Carlos Correa (ankle) is back in the #MNTwins lineup, starting at shortstop and batting cleanup.

Correa has had a history of ankle injuries, which played a significant role in his 2021 free agency. He immediately feared the worst after Friday's collision, but the fact that he's playing in the final game before the All-Star break, proves that it was nothing more than a scare.
