Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Gets Wednesday off
Correa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.
Jermaine Palacios will fill in at shortstop while Correa gets a breather in the season finale. The 28-year-old holds a $35.1 million player option for 2023, but he may prefer to try his luck on the open market after a solid first season in Minnesota in which he hit .291 with 22 home runs, 64 RBI and 70 runs.

The slam came shortly before the game was called due to rain. The power display was a promising sign as he had sat the previous two games with a back issue after going 2-for-24 in seven games leading up to his absence.
