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

The measure applies retroactively to Tuesday.

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

Correa, 29, is hitting .308 with 13 homers, 47 RBIs and 51 runs in 75 games this season. He was named to his third All-Star Game but did not play in Tuesday’s game because of the foot injury.

Correa, in his third season with the Twins after spending seven with the Houston Astros, has a career .275 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 recently returned from the injured list with a shoulder injury and threw 10 innings in two starts before the latest setback.

Paddack has a 27-24 record with a 4.38 ERA in 85 games (82 as a starter) with the San Diego Padres (2019-21) and the Twins.

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

Julien, 28, hit .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.
