Houston Astros infielder Carlos Correa has a torn tendon in his left ankle that will require season-ending surgery, per reports. The injury was suffered during pregame batting practice on Tuesday.
When
Correa hit the free agent market after the 2021 season, he had agreements on $300 million contracts with both the New York Mets and the San Francisco Giants, only for both agreements to be scuttled due to concerns about his right ankle. Correa ended up signing with the Minnesota Twins for 2022, then entered into a 6 year, $200 million deal with the Twins for the 2023-28 seasons. The Twins traded Correa back to Houston at the 2025 deadline.
The Astros have a 15-22 record currently, which has them in fourth place in the American League West. Their record is the second-worst in the A.L., ahead of only the Anaheim Angels. The Astros currently have 13 players on the major league injured list, and Correa, once he goes on the i.l., will make it 14.
