Kevin Correia surrendered five runs in four innings Monday in a loss to the Braves.
At least he'll always have April; Correia has seen his ERA jump from 2.23 to 3.90 while giving up 15 runs in 22 1/3 innings during May. He shouldn't have any fantasy value over the remainder of the season. May 20 - 10:23 PM

Kevin Correia allowed four runs over seven innings as the Twins lost to the White Sox on Tuesday.

Correia has been one of the surprises of the young season, as Tuesday was just the second time all season he'd allowed more than three runs in a start. The right-hander surrendered nine hits, including two home runs, while striking out just two in the outing. His season ERA is still just 3.35, but his low strikeout totals and past history tell us danger lies ahead for the veteran. We're still laying off outside of AL-only leagues. He'll next take the bump against the Braves on Monday.

Kevin Correia struggled in a losing effort against the Indians on Saturday, surrendering four runs on six hits over five innings of work.

Correia walked two and struck out four. The Indians jumped on him in the very first inning with a pair of solo homers from Jason Kipnis and Nick Swisher, and added another pair of runs in the second. Despite the poor effort on Saturday, Correia still sports a solid a 3-2 record and 2.83 ERA on the season. He'll look to get back in the win column when he takes on the Red Sox in Boston on Thursday.

Kevin Correia fired eight innings of shutout ball Sunday in the Twins' 5-0 defeat of the Rangers.

Correia held the dangerous Texas lineup to six hits -- all singles -- while striking out two. It was another impressive showing from the 32-year-old right-hander, who was signed to a two-year, $10 million free agent contract this past winter. He is now 3-1 with a 2.23 ERA and 1.07 WHIP through five starts and may be worth streaming in some deeper mixed fantasy leagues despite the lack of strikeouts.

Kevin Correia pitched seven innings of two-run ball Tuesday as the Twins beat the Marlins 4-3 in the first game of a doubleheader.

Correia has gone seven innings every time out so far. Last year, he did it just three times in 28 starts for the Pirates. We still don't trust Correia at all, and it's not like he doesn't have a history of fast starts and quick declines. He'll probably get the Rangers next.

Monday night's game between the Twins and Marlins has been postponed due to a Minnesota snowstorm.

Kevin Correia was scheduled to start for the Twins and Ricky Nolasco was supposed to be on the bump for the Marlins. The two teams are going to try to fit in a day-night doubleheader on Tuesday at Target Field, but the forecast currently calls for more wintry weather.

Kevin Correia recorded his first win for the Twins after allowing two runs in seven innings Monday against the Angels.

The runs came on early homers from Peter Bourjos and Brendan Harris. With a 2.95 ERA in three starts, Correia is turning in one of his typical strong Aprils. We doubt he'll keep it going for the long haul.

Sunday's game between the Mets and Twins has been postponed due to rain.

Kevin Correia was unscored upon in the first seven frames Monday against the Royals but then came undone in a three-run eighth inning.

Correia's pitch count was low, which is why he came back out for the eighth, but the move backfired on Twins manager Ron Gardenhire. The right-hander gave up eight hits and a walk while striking out one over 7 1/3 frames for the day. Correia has a nice 3.14 ERA and 1.19 WHIP through his two starts, but he's still looking for his first win. He'll try for it later this week against the Mets.

Kevin Correia was solid in a no-decision Wednesday, giving up two runs over seven innings in a 3-2 win over the Tigers.

He allowed seven hits, walked one and struck out a pair. Correia exited the game on the hook for the loss, but his teammates bailed him out with a two-run ninth to win it. The veteran righty should be able to eat some innings this season while posting around a league-average ERA, but he's not someone to own in fantasy leagues. Correia will face the Royals in the first of two starts next week.

Kevin Correia finished out his Grapefruit League season but tossing five innings of one-run ball Thursday against the Red Sox.

He gave up five hits, walked one and struck out one. Despite tonight's strong showing, Correia still wound up with a 5.40 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 8/10 K/BB ratio during Grapefruit League play. He should not be owned in fantasy leagues.

Kevin Correia yielded four runs -- three earned -- in 4 2/3 innings Saturday in a no-decision against the Rays.

It's a good thing Correia isn't having to compete for his rotation spot this spring, because he'd be missing out with his 6.30 ERA and ugly 5/6 K/BB ratio in 15 1/3 innings. Despite his shiny two-year, $10 million contract, it'd be no surprise to him toiling in middle relief by midseason.

Kevin Correia limited the Orioles to two runs -- one earned -- over 4 2/3 frames Wednesday.

He surrendered four hits -- including a Chris Dickerson homer -- and didn't record a walk or strikeout. Correia holds a 4.76 ERA and 1.85 WHIP over four starts this spring, but his rotation spot is guaranteed after the Twins gave him $10 million this winter.

Kevin Correia pitched 2 1/3 innings and allowed three runs and five hits in a no-decision against the Phillies on Wednesday.

The Twins' decision to give Correia $10 million for two years was one of the most baffling of the winter. He's guaranteed a rotation spot, but he shouldn't be a part of AL-only pitching staffs.

Kevin Correia - S - Twins

Twins signed RHP Kevin Correia to a two-year, $10 million contract.

The deal was agreed to on Monday then made official on Thursday after the 32-year-old right-hander passed his physical. Correia doesn't strike anybody out and owns a pedestrian 4.54 career ERA, but he's an upgrade for the weak Minnesota starting rotation. And he could carry decent value in deeper fantasy leagues because he'll be making half his starts at the cavernous Target Field.
