Correa went 1-for-5 with a run scored in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Correa was back in the lineup following a day off Sunday, which was designed to give him a break amid a slump to start the month of May. After Monday's effort, which saw him leave three runners in scoring position, Correa is 2-for-32 this month with nine strikeouts and one walk. He's second on the team with average exit velocity of 91 mph, so there's some element of bad luck, but Correa's average launch angle has increased to 15.5. That's translated into fewer line drives and more fly balls.

EDGE Analysis
Manager Dusty Baker will extend Correa a day off while he's stuck in a 1-for-27 slump at the plate that has dropped his season average to .246. Robel Garcia steps in at shortstop for Correa in the series finale.

Correa went 0-for-4 in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Correa's hit a rocky patch since delivering a four-hit performance April 30. Since then, the shortstop is hitless over 19 at-bats with six strikeouts, lowering his batting average to .254. He's in no danger of losing his starting gig, but manager Dusty Baker could give him a rest day as a way to get Aledmys Diaz (5-for-9, five RBI over his last three games) into the lineup.

Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Aledmys Diaz will pick up a start at shortstop while Correa sits for the first time in 2021. Unless he makes an appearance off the bench Sunday, Correa will look to extend his three-game RBI streak in Monday's series opener against the Mariners.

Correa went 2-for-5 with two RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop's first opportunity in the leadoff spot this season proved successful, and he's now hitting .282 with three homers and nine RBI through 71 at-bats in 2021. Correa has failed to record a hit in just three of his 18 starts, providing valued consistency to Houston's lineup. The 26-year-old will likely return to the middle of the order once Jose Altuve (illness) returns, but figures to continue hitting regardless of his spot in the lineup.

Correa will start at shortstop and lead off Thursday against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Correa will be the fourth different Astros player to get a look out of the leadoff role since the team's regular table setter, Jose Altuve (illness), was placed on the COVID-19 injured list April 14. Per Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle, manager Dusty Baker said that Altuve could be back from the IL this weekend or early next week, so Correa's stay atop the lineup will likely be brief. Through his first 72 plate appearances of the season, Correa is slashing .273/.333/.470 with three home runs and seven RBI.

EDGE Analysis

Correa went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and two runs batted in during Thursday's victory over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
The right-handed hitter smashed a solo shot in the second inning off Cole Irvin and then knocked in teammate Yordan Alvarez on a double in the fourth. The 26-year-old slashed .264/.326/.383 in 2020 and looks to turn his hitting around in 2021.
