Carlos Correa, the Astros’ third baseman, has started working out on the field again after undergoing ankle surgery on May 11. Correa’s progress has been ahead of schedule, and he is optimistic about returning to the lineup for the stretch run.
Recovery Timeline
Correa has progressed to doing all baseball activities except hitting and is expected to be cleared to do that after a doctor’s appointment on Tuesday. He has been following a protocol to speed up his recovery, which includes a specific diet, sleep schedule, and treatment plan.
The 31-year-old Correa is a career .275 hitter with 203 home runs and 740 RBIs across 12 MLB seasons, including two stints with the Astros. His bat and glove would be a significant boost for the team if he can return for the remainder of the season.
