Correa went 3-for-4 with a home run, two walks, three RBI and two runs Wednesday in the Astros' 8-6 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Correa turned in his best performance of the season, reaching base in four of his five plate appearances to lift his OPS to a sparkling .960. It's probably too early to draw many sweeping conclusions from 10 games' worth of at-bats, but Correa at least looks healthy and could be primed for a productive season after seeing his numbers wane while missing extensive time due to injury in 2018.

Correa went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 win over the A's.
EDGE Analysis
The homer was Correa's first of 2019, but the shortstop is already displaying plenty of pop -- he also has three doubles among his six hits, giving him a .33/.400/.667 slash line through five games. If he can stay healthy, Correa should have no trouble returning to the 20-HR level he reached in his first three seasons in the majors.
