Correa Out, Astros Playoff Hopes Fade | Houston Astros News

Carlos Correa’s season is officially over for the Astros after surgery on his ankle, with manager Joe Espada confirming the decision due to the physical toll of a playoff push. The 31-year-old was hitting over .270 with a strong on-base percentage before going down — his absence hits hard as Houston fights for a slim division lead. Meanwhile, Brice Matthews is inching back from a knee sprain at Triple-A, while pitchers Mike Burrows and Steven Okert are also rehabbing, with Okert potentially returning by Sept. 15. Brandon Walter faces a 2027 return after Tommy John surgery. The Astros remain active with roster moves, including claiming Jorge Barrosa, as they navigate a tougher playoff race without their star shortstop.
