Correa went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Monday's 6-4 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Correa has been the most consistent producer in a Houston lineup that's struggled to score runs. He's hit safely in 14 of 16 games with a slash of .345/.433/.517. Top-of-the-lineup hitters like George Springer (wrist), Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman have not reached base as consistently as usual so far his season, which has limited RBI opportunities for Correa, who had just one RBI in the previous nine games.

Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Rome, manager Dusty Baker said that Correa is just getting a maintenance day after he started in each of the Astros' first eight games. Before going 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Saturday's 5-4 loss, Correa had put together a seven-game hitting streak to begin the campaign. Jack Mayfield will enter the lineup in place of Correa, starting at shortstop and batting eighth.

Correa went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Michael Brantley was the only other Astro to even collect a hit on the night, but Correa was in the spotlight for Houston in more ways than one -- his interactions with Joe Kelly in the sixth inning led to both benches clearing, although Kelly seemed to be the main instigator. Correa has hit safely in all five games to begin the season, going 7-for-17 with a homer and four RBI.

Correa went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Monday's spring game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Three of Correa's six spring hits have been doubles. The Astros made a series of cuts this week, so regulars like Correa should get more at-bats and work on timing over the next couple of weeks. The shortstop is coming off a third consecutive year impacted by injuries, although when healthy, Correa makes a fantasy impact out of the middle infield.

Correa went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Thursday in an 8-3 win over the Yankees in Game 4 of the ALCS.
EDGE Analysis
While Correa has struggled so far in the postseason, slashing just .167/.167/.389, it's encouraging two see him pop two homers in the last three games after he battled back problems for much of the regular season. If the Astros can wrap up the series in Game 5, it would by Correa a few additional days to rest his ailing back.
