The Minnesota Twins receive a mixed bag of injury updates regarding outfielder Byron Buxton and shortstop Carlos Correa.

The Minnesota Twins are optioning outfielder Carson McCusker to Triple-A St. Paul, signaling someone — likely center fielder Byron Buxton or right fielder Matt Wallner — is set to return from injury ahead of their upcoming series in Seattle.

Buxton and Correa collided in Game 11 of what eventually became a 13-game winning streak. The Twins are 4-5 since the winning streak ended and sit six games behind the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central. Minnesota's plus-26 run differential is far and away the second best in the division behind the Tigers.
