BALTIMORE (AP) – Minnesota Twins star Carlos Correa may have broken his finger after being hit by a field Thursday night in Baltimore.
The twins said after the game that previous shots showed the possibility of a fracture of the middle finger of the right Korea without a shift. Korea is expected to perform a CT scan on Friday, and then the team will confirm the diagnosis.
Correa left Minnesota losing 5-3 to the Orioles in the seventh inning after a step hit his hand while he still held the handle bat. The ball bounced into the game, and Correa was easily retired 1-3.
Earlier in the game, Korea also suffered a blow. This ball seemed to bounce off his wrist or hand before catching his right shoulder.
The Twins signed to Korea this offseason for $ 105.3 million, a three-year deal, and the player declined to exit after the first two seasons. The former Houston shorts started slowly this year, but have become strong recently. He beats 0.255 with two homers and 11 RBIs.
Even after losing Thursday, Minnesota leads AL Central by 2 1/2 games.
