Correa Targeting 2027 Return After Injury Setback
The Astros shortstop received unwelcome medical news and is now focused on full recovery, effectively shelving any near-term return.
Carlos Correa received news about his injury that he described as not what he wanted to hear. His recovery timeline has been pushed out far enough that his focus has shifted entirely to being healthy for the 2027 season. The development signals Correa is unlikely to contribute meaningfully for Houston in 2026. The Astros will need to plan their roster and lineup without him for the foreseeable future.
