Twins star shortstop Carlos Correa and first baseman Joey Gallo both missed Wednesday's series-ending 7-1 victory over San Francisco at Target Field.
Correa didn't play either in Tuesday's 4-3 loss with what manager Rocco Baldelli called a mild muscle strain in his heel and some plantar fasciitis as well.
Gallo was out because of hamstring soreness experienced in Tuesday's game.
Baldelli said neither player is going on the injured list. They will receive treatment on Thursday's day off and be reevaluated on Friday for a weekend home series with Toronto.
"We don't think it's going to be an extended period of time where he's out," Baldelli said about Correa. "I think he's going to be OK. Some of it is going to be tolerance. We want to see some improvement with the things he's dealing with right now. We'll know more over the off day."
Correa said he "stepped in a weird way" after touching first base on his way to second with a double in Monday's fifth inning.
"I stopped and stayed there and I felt pain," Correa said. "I was like, oh, this is not normal."
He said he stayed in the game because the shorthanded Twins have few options off the bench.
