Carlos Correa Scratched on Tuesday With Ankle Injury
The Houston Astros scratched infielder Carlos Correa (ankle) from the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers due to a left-ankle injury, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Nick Allen was activated from the 10-day injured list and made the start at the 6 for Houston, with Braden Shewmake starting at third base against Dodgers right-hander Shohei Ohtani. Correa injured his ankle during batting practice before the game. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day before checking to see if he's available for Wednesday's series finale against L.A. The Astros are already short-handed at the 6 with Jeremy Pena (hamstring) on the IL, so they can ill-afford a long-term injury to Correa. In his first full season back in Houston, Correa has handled himself nicely at the plate so far, as he came into Tuesday's game batting .279 (34-for-122) with three home runs, 16 RBI, 22 runs scored, and a stolen base across 32 games played.
