The Houston Astros say third baseman Carlos Correa is progressing from ankle surgery and is expected to be available “at some point in September.” The Athletic reports Correa is already doing on-field work, including fielding ground balls, sprinting at nearly full effort, and taking batting practice.
Yahoo Sports likewise describes Correa’s recovery as improving after the surgery, which initially was believed to be season-ending. Both outlets present his current status as a ramp-up rather than a confirmed return date, indicating the team is monitoring his ability to sustain activity and baseball movements during late-season drills.
While the sources differ in the amount of detail about specific workouts, they align on the core timeline: Correa is further along than first expected, his conditioning and baseball skill work are increasing, and his return is targeted for September rather than being ruled out for the rest of the season.
