Carlos Correa out for season

Houston Astros star shortstop Carlos Correa is facing season-ending surgery after suffering a serious ankle injury during batting practice.

Correa reported hearing a 'pop' in his left ankle while taking swings, and subsequent medical examinations revealed a torn tendon.

The injury is a devastating blow to the Astros, who are already struggling with a depleted roster and a difficult start to the 2026 season.

Correa is expected to be sidelined for six to eight months, raising significant questions about his future and the team's ability to compete for a championship this year.
