Apparently all the work and all the hope was for naught.
It’s yet another kick in the teeth for the Astros, who have been beset by injuries for the third straight season.
There was hope that a return for Correa would inject some life into an offense that has been scuffling with Jeremy Pena slumping and Yordan Alvarez experiencing a power outage. The bottom two-thirds of the lineup has been shaky at best over the last month and a half.
It is a complete 180 degree turn from the optimism that has been exuded from both Correa and the reports that had Correa ramping up and starting rehab games this week with Triple-A Sugar Land.
Correa had been scheduled to meet with doctors before going on the rehab assignment, and as of right now we can only presume that the reports were not good enough to allow him to start playing.
Yet another tough break for Houston and Correa.
