Carlos Correa Expected to Miss Significant Time With Ankle Injury
Houston Astros infielder Carlos Correa (ankle) suffered a significant injury to his left ankle during pre-game batting practice on Tuesday and could be out for weeks or months while he recovers, a source told Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Correa is scheduled to meet with a foot specialist on Wednesday morning, but the expectation is that he will be sidelined indefinitely. The veteran infielder, who has been playing shortstop of late with Jeremy Pena (hamstring) on the injured list, went 0-for-4 on Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and is hitting .279/.369/.418 with three home runs and 16 RBI on the season for the Astros. With Pena still out, Correa's injury is a big blow for a struggling Houston team. He'll be the fourth member of the team's Opening Day lineup to land on the IL, joining Pena, catcher Yainer Diaz (oblique), outfielder Joey Loperfido (quadriceps), and outfielder Jake Meyers (oblique). Until Pena is able to return to shortstop, Nick Allen, who got the start at the 6 in Tuesday's win, will likely take over at shortstop for the Astros.
