Correa went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Saturday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Correa went yard off Texas starter Kolby Allard in the third inning, depositing one into the left field stands for his 20th homer of the season. It's the fifth time Correa has reached that plateau in his career, and he stands a chance to topple the personal-best 24 homers he hit in 2017. The 26-year-old, who is set to become a free agent following the 2021 campaign, is slashing .275/.370/.479 with 49 extra-base hits and 69 RBI across 516 plate appearances.

The 26-year-old has found a lot of success against the Mariners this year, as he's slashing .317/.391/.463 with five extra-base hits, four RBI, 12 runs scored and 5:3 BB:K over 41 at-bats.

Correa went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles, an RBI and two runs in Monday's 11-8 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
The two-hit day ended a 3-for-46 skid over the past 13 games for Correa, who has seen his season average plummet 30 points to .270 amid the massive slide. The 26-year-old isn't in any jeopardy of losing hold of the everyday gig at shortstop, but his midsummer swoon could lessen the Astros' willingness to offer him a long-term contract extension before he becomes an unrestricted free agent this winter.

Correa went 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 4-3 win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Correa's been fighting a slump since early July, which was made worse by a stint on the COVID-19 injured list. Since a sixth-inning single July 4, the shortstop has gone 0-for-26 with 13 strikeouts. In the middle of that stretch, he was placed on the injured list. He confirmed to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com that he tested negative for the virus but was hospitalized and required intravenous fluids July 9. Correa said his timing has been off since coming back from the illness.
