The Twins started the unofficial second half of their season on something of a sour note Saturday afternoon, placing all-star shortstop Carlos Correa and starter Chris Paddack on the injured list before a 6:10 p.m. game against Milwaukee at Target Field.

Correa was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in his right foot just before the team broke for all-star break on Sunday and pulled out of Tuesday’s All-Star Game.

Manager Rocco Baldelli said Correa had a platelet-rich plasma shot in his right heel. He will be on the 10-day IL.

“Just the last few days (it’s been) bothering me, but not as bad as it was last year,” Correa said before the break. “But with the break almost here, I don’t want to get stupid and push it. We know how bad it can get (from) last year. These days of rest should have me ready for the second half.”

Baldelli said Correa has been placed in a walking boot. He wasn’t at Target Field on Saturday and might stay home, in Minnesota, on Sunday, as well.

“He’s going to be in a boot for a couple days,” the manager said. “Once he starts baseball activity, then we’ll have a timeline.”

Correa was limited to 135 games last season — and hit a career-low .230 — while being bothered by plantar fasciitis in his left foot.

To fill the two spots on the 26-man active roster, the Twins have recalled infielder Edouard Julien from Class AAA St. Paul and activated outfielder Austin Martin from the injured list (oblique).

Julien, 25, made the team out of camp but hit .207 with 66 strikeouts in 58 games after a solid rookie season in 2023 (.263, 16 home runs, 37 runs batted in and 64 walks in 109 games). He was in the lineup Saturday playing second and batting ninth.

Paddack to miss start

Paddack, 28, is pitching his first full season since having a second Tommy John surgery in spring of 2022. Baldelli said the right-hander had images taken of his elbow, and the training staff is confident his injury is a muscle strain that will “heal up OK.”

“What everyone’s probably wondering about is fine. His elbow seems fine, the ligament seems fine, everything seems fine,” the manager said.

Paddack declined to talk with reporters. He was activated from another stay on the 15-day IL for a July 8 start against the Chicago White Sox after missing time with arm fatigue. He made starts in Chicago and San Francisco, surrendering a combined four earned runs on eight hits and three walks. He struck out nine.

“He woke up during the all-star break, after throwing, with some elbow tightness,” Baldelli said.

Paddack will miss at least his next start, and the Twins likely will call a pitcher up from St. Paul for a spot start against Philadelphia this week. Baldelli said the team has an idea of who that will be but has no announcement, and that it could change, anyway.

Briefly

Jose Miranda (back tightness) won’t come off the 10-day IL tomorrow when he’s eligible, and it’s unclear whether the team will send him on a rehab assignment. “We need to make sure that he can swing,” Baldelli said. “We need to make sure that he can do everything, wake up the next day, recover from everything he does (and) do it again.”
