The Minnesota Twins discovered during Monday's game against the Detroit Tigers that shortstop Carlos Correa tested positive for COVID-19.
Manager Rocco Baldelli confirmed the news to reporters after the 7-5 loss to Detroit on Monday.
Correa is hitting .279 (.751 OPS) with three home runs and 16 RBI in his first year with Minnesota, who signed him to a three-year, $105.3 million contract last offseason.
The 27-year-old played his first seven MLB seasons with the Houston Astros, making two All-Star Games, winning the 2017 World Series and earning the 2015 AL Rookie of the Year award.
