Baldelli said the 27-year-old shortstop had not been feeling well but doesn't have significant symptoms.
āHe's under the weather, but nothing above and beyond that,ā Baldelli said. āI think resting and hydrating are the most important things for him right now.ā
Monday's game was the first in a five-game, four-day series against the Tigers.
āWe've had some guys stay behind in cities, but there are other possible options,ā Baldelli said. āWe're going to be here for a while, so no one needs to go anywhere yet.ā
Correa is hitting .279 with a .751 OPS in his first season with the Twins. He left the Houston Astros after seven seasons to sign a $105.3 million, three-year contract in March, a deal that allows him to opt out after the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
