Twins Activate Correa; Both Suffered Concussions

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa has been reinstated from the seven-day concussion injured list after he and teammate Byron Buxton both suffered concussions in a recent collision. Correa reported several days of symptoms but passed neurological tests and returned to the lineup for the series against the Kansas City Royals. Prior to his injury, Correa was batting .236 with two home runs and 13 RBI in 41 games, and he will be monitored day-to-day. Byron Buxton, still under concussion protocol and with a history of previous concussions, has started light baseball activities but is progressing more slowly. To accommodate Correa's return, the Twins optioned Ryan Fitzgerald to Triple-A. The Twins and Royals are tied for second place in the A.L. Central as their weekend series begins.
