Houston Astros infielder Carlos Correa will not return this season after an injury update following his attempt to come back from left ankle surgery. Multiple reports say Correa’s recovery does not put him on track to play again this year, including beyond the regular season.
Correa had been working toward a late-season return after left ankle surgery that he initially described as season-ending. The Athletic reports he remains unable to return, while Yahoo Sports reports Houston manager Joe Espada tells reporters that the comeback bid is over and that Correa will miss October. The accounts align on the outcome, but differ only in emphasis—one focuses on the season-long timeline, while the other highlights the specific message from the team manager.
