Twins Correa, Buxton Enter Concussion Protocol After Collision

Minnesota Twins teammates Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton both entered the MLB concussion protocol after a collision during Thursday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The incident occurred in the third inning when Buxton collided headfirst into a backpedaling Correa while chasing a fly ball, causing Correa to leave the game immediately and Buxton to exit after the inning. Correa is likely to be placed on the 7-day injured list if officially diagnosed with a concussion, while both players remain under evaluation. Correa has only missed scheduled rest days this season prior to this injury, and the Twins entered the game on a 10-game winning streak. Updates on their status are expected following further medical assessments. Both players are currently out of the lineup for the series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers.
