The Minnesota Twins placed All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

The move was retroactive to Tuesday.

Minnesota also put right-hander Chris Paddack on the 15-day IL due to a right forearm strain. His move was retroactive to Wednesday.

Correa, 29, is batting .308 with 13 homers, 47 RBIs and 51 runs in 75 games this season. He was named to his third All-Star Game but didn't play in Tuesday's contest due to the foot injury.

Correa is in his third season with the Twins after spending seven with the Houston Astros. He has a .275 career average with 186 homers and 665 RBIs in 1,098 games.

Paddack, 28, is 5-3 with a 4.99 ERA in 17 starts this season. He just recently returned from the injured list due to a shoulder injury and pitched 10 overall innings in two starts before the latest setback.

Paddack is 27-24 with a 4.38 ERA in 85 games (82 starts) with the San Diego Padres (2019-21) and Twins.

In corresponding moves, Minnesota recalled infielder Edouard Julien from Triple-A St. Paul and activated utility player Austin Martin (oblique) from the 10-day IL.

Julien, 28, batted .207 with seven homers and 17 RBIs in 58 games for the Twins earlier this season. Martin, 25, is hitting .265 with one homer and nine RBIs in 47 games for Minnesota this year.
