NBC SportsCarlos Correa was scratched from the Twins' starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Giants with a right heel contusion.

No word on when exactly the injury occurred how long the 29-year-old shortstop is expected to be sidelined for. As a result of the late scratch, Christian Vazquez will draw a rare start at third base with Willi Castro shifting to cover shortstop and Brooks Lee starting at second base.

NBC SportsKyle Harrison held the Twins to just one run while throwing 5 1/3 innings to get a win Friday.

Harrison's run came when he was out of the game on a fielder's choice that scored Carlos Correa off the bat of Willi Castro. The 22-year-old southpaw issued only one walk while striking out three in his final start before the All-Star break. Harrison has had some ups and downs in his first full year of MLB action, but a 4.08 ERA and 73/27 K/BB over 86 innings illustrate there's reason for optimism in both the short and long-term.
