Astros Surge With Correa’s Return in Sight | Houston Astros News

The Astros are defying expectations, leading the AL West at 59-56 after a strong trade deadline haul — but their season hinges on Carlos Correa’s return from an ankle injury. Though sidelined since May and dealing with past issues, Correa’s optimistic about coming back before the season ends. Manager Joe Espada confirmed he’s cleared to start batting practice, with a cautious, step-by-step plan to ensure he’s healthy for a potential playoff run. Before his injury, Correa was hitting .279 with a .787 OPS — if he returns, the Astros could become a force nobody wants to face in the AL.
