Carlos Correa Still Under the Weather
Houston Astros third baseman Carlos Correa (illness) has been sick since Tuesday, which is why he's absent from the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic. Isaac Paredes will start at the hot corner and will bat cleanup against Rockies right-hander Michael Lorenzen. Correa is back at the ballpark and did a light pre-game workout, but it's unclear if he'll be available off the bench. The Astros have a day off on Thursday, so hopefully Correa will be feeling good enough to return to the starting nine for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Seattle Mariners. Paredes won't be a bad DFS play on Wednesday at hitter-friendly Coors Field in the cleanup spot. In five career at-bats against Lorenzen, Paredes is hitting .200 with a solo home run. In his first 11 games this year, Correa has gone 11-for-42 (.262) with a homer, nine RBI, nine runs scored, and a stolen base.
