Carlos Correa Undergoes Season-Ending Ankle Surgery on Monday
The Houston Astros said that veteran infielder Carlos Correa (ankle) underwent surgery on the peroneus brevis tendon in his left ankle on Monday, and he will miss the rest of the season, according to Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle. Correa suffered the freak ankle injury while taking batting practice last Tuesday before a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he's expected to need around six to eight months to recover. Although shortstop Jeremy Pena (hamstring) is on track to return from the injured list later this week, Correa's injury is one that the struggling Astros may never recover from in 2026. The 31-year-old veteran has a history of foot injuries, but this ankle injury is not related to the plantar fasciitis that he's dealt with in recent seasons. Before his season-ending injury, Correa was hitting .279 (34-for-122) with three home runs, 16 RBI, 22 runs scored, and a stolen base in 32 games played. Fantasy managers in single-year formats should have already dumped Correa to the waiver wire.
