Correa (side) is starting at shortstop and batting fourth in the lineup Tuesday against the A's.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Correa will slot back into the cleanup spot for the Astros after missing the past four games with soreness in his right side. The star shortstop was 5-for-18 at the plate in June before suffering the injury and is coming off a rough month of May in which he slashed just .192/.292/.394. He'll look to find his stroke Tuesday against righty Daniel Mengden.

Astros manager A.J. Hinch said that he expects Correa (side) to rejoin the lineup Tuesday against the Athletics, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Correa will be sidelined for a fourth straight game Sunday against the Rangers while he recovers from a sore right side, but it appears a trip to the disabled list won't be necessary for the star shortstop. He was able to put in a workout in the infield Sunday, and with a team off day Monday, the Astros anticipate that Correa will be healthy enough to suit up for the series opener in Oakland. Correa's return to the starting nine would result in Marwin Gonzalez shifting back to left field on a regular basis.

Correa (side) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Correa will be on the bench for a fourth consecutive contest while he battles right side discomfort, resulting in Marwin Gonzalez picking up another turn at shortstop. The 23-year-old was expected to go through fielding drills prior to Sunday's contest and will have the benefit of a team off day Monday, offering optimism that he'll be back in the fold for the Astros' series opener Tuesday in Oakland. Unfortunately for fantasy owners in weekly leagues with lineups that lock Monday, official word on Correa's status for the Oakland series seems unlikely to come until Tuesday.

Correa (side) isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Correa exited Wednesday's tilt due to side discomfort, and it seems unlikely that he'll return this weekend after failing to participate in any baseball activities since suffering the injury. More information on his status should be released in the next few days.

Correa (side) is not yet performing baseball activities and continues to work on testing his core, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Every development since Correa left Wednesday's game with discomfort in his right side has been positive: a magnetic resonance imaging exam came back negative and the shortstop hasn't felt pain since the incident. Manager A.J. Hinch said he's bouncing back quickly and isn't feeling anything when he breathes or with any type of body movement. Hinch hasn't ruled out a return this weekend, but without Correa swinging a bat or fielding grounders, he may not be ready to play until the next series, which begins Tuesday in Oakland.

Correa (side) was held out of Friday's lineup against the Rangers, Alyson Footer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Correa will get another day off after leaving Wednesday's outing with right side discomfort, though he did receive positive news from an MRI on Thursday. Manager A.J. Hinch hasn't remarked on Correa's status, but all signs point toward the shortstop returning to the fold sometime this weekend. For the second straight game, Marwin Gonzalez will man the shortstop position in his stead.

Correa (side) received good results from Thursday's MRI and stated that he's day-to-day moving forward, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Correa described the results of the tests as "great news" and added that he's optimistic that he will be back on the field soon. Whether that comes Friday or later on this weekend, that remains to be seen, but in all likelihood, it appears as though he didn't sustain a significant injury. In his absence, Marwin Gonzalez will start at shortstop for Thursday's series opener.

Correa (side) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against Texas, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Correa was forced to exit Wednesday's contest with right side discomfort prior to the top of the eighth inning and he will get the night off as the club begins a four-game set in Arlington. The Astros have yet to describe the severity of Correa's injury at this time, so consider him day-to-day ahead of Friday's tilt.

Correa exited Wednesday's game against the Mariners with right side discomfort, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Correa was 1-for-3 with a walk before being replaced by Marwin Gonzalez prior to the top of the eighth inning. He apparently felt something during his final at-bat in the seventh inning, though specifics remain unclear at this point. Consider the shortstop day-to-day for now. He'll be reevaluated Thursday.

Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Friday's 7-3 win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Correa has gone yard in each of the first two games of the series, giving him 10 for the season, the fourth consecutive year he's reached double-digit home runs. The slugging shortstop endured a May in which he hit a lowly .192, but his power didn't slump. He hit five homers and knocked in a team-high 17 runs and leads the Astros with 39 RBI in 56 games. Even during stretches in which his bat slumps, Correa's spot as cleanup hitter in stacked lineup presents RBI opportunities.
