Carlos Correa advances in rehab, eyes return for Astros stretch run

Carlos Correa Houston Astros ankle surgery rehab progress 2026 return

Houston shortstop Carlos Correa underwent left‑ankle surgery on May 11 and began field workouts the following Saturday, well ahead of the expected six‑to‑eight‑month recovery period. He has progressed to performing all baseball activities except hitting and expects clearance to resume batting after a Tuesday doctor’s appointment.

If cleared, Correa could rejoin the Astros, who sit at 57‑55 and lead the American League West by 1½ games, providing a significant boost to a lineup that has been top‑heavy. Before the injury, he posted a .279/.369/.418 slash line with three home runs and 16 RBIs in 32 games, and he is a three‑time All‑Star with a career .275 average, 203 homers and 740 RBIs over 12 seasons.
