Correa Clears Ankle to Return | Houston Astros News

Carlos Correa is inching closer to returning from ankle surgery, cleared by doctors to ramp up baseball activities this weekend at the Astros’ minor league facility in Florida. After hitting off a pitching machine and sprinting at 95% in Houston, he’ll now face real tests: live pitching, base running, and sliding. With just 24 games left in the regular season, his potential comeback—possibly even for a playoff run—is building excitement. Manager Joe Espada remains cautious but acknowledges Florida will be key. Correa insists he won’t return as a DH and is targeting third base, forcing lineup adjustments. The Astros are hopeful for a healthy, impactful return from their star shortstop.
