Rattler bites rare but Winona hospital ready
WINONA, Minn. – Nobody in recent memory recalls any rattlesnake bite cases at the Winona hospital, but the pharmacy director, Jill Ender, says the emergency room is prepared. Antivenom serum can be flown from Mayo Clinic Rochester on short notice, she said. There usually is a six-hour window to treat a bite, Ender said. Because of the rarity of bites and a short expiration of the antivenom, the hospital doesn’t stock its own supply.

Twins put Correa on injured list for treatment of plantar fasciitis, sit Paddack with forearm strain
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins placed All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa on the injured list on Saturday for treatment of plantar fasciitis in his right foot, giving him the precautionary rest he didn’t get last season for the same condition in the other foot. Starting pitcher Chris Paddack also landed on the injured list with a right forearm strain before the game against Milwaukee, after he experienced tightness during the break. Utility player Austin Martin (right oblique strain) was reinstated from the IL and second baseman Edouard Julien was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul to fill the roster spots, but the five-day break didn’t give the banged-up Twins much of a lift. Infielders Royce Lewis (strained right groin) and Jose Miranda (strained lower back) and backup Kyle Farmer (strained right shoulder) remained on the IL, among other players who’ve been on longer-term timetables. Correa was held out of the All-Star Game on Tuesday because of the condition he largely played through in his left foot last season. This version appears to be less severe, but he had a platelet-rich plasma injection during the break that will keep him in a walking boot for a couple of days.

After a truly rough start to the year, Minnesota has swung back and forth between being a truly top-tier team and one that painfully underperforms.
