Eight days after Carlos Correa collided with Byron Buxton on a shallow fly ball in Baltimore, Correa was back in the Twins lineup. Correa was activated from the seven-day concussion injured list Friday before the Twins’ series opener against the Kansas City Royals at Target Field.

Buxton and Correa collided in what would eventually become the 11th win in Minnesota's recent 13-game winning streak. Brooks Lee stepped in at shortstop during Correa's absence and went 3 for 19 (.158) in five games. DaShawn Keirsey Jr. has gotten most of the center field reps while Buxton has been sidelined.

The Minnesota Twins activated shortstop Carlos Correa off the concussion injured list, the team announced Friday. He is expected to be in the lineup Friday night against the Kansas City Royals.
