Correa (shoulder) is technically day-to-day but he has been unable to take swings since suffering the injury, the Houston Chronicle's Angel Verdugo reports.
EDGE Analysis
He can't extend his swing due to the shoulder inflammation that will sideline him for the third day in a row Friday. Correa said he is feeling better and making progress, but if he can't swing Friday, it's hard to envision him being in Saturday's lineup, although the hope is that he will return sometime during this weekend's series.

Correa (shoulder) is out of the lineup Friday against the Cubs, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Correa missed the last two games with left shoulder inflammation, and though manager A.J. Hinch expressed optimism that the 21-year-old would be able to return to the lineup during the weekend set against the Cubs, it won't be for the series opener on Friday. It appears as though the shortstop is still eyeing a return in the upcoming series though, while Alex Bregman figures to be a likely candidate to receive the starts in Correa's place should he miss any more time.

Correa is dealing with inflammation in his left shoulder and will return to Houston to visit with team doctors, Biran McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager A.J. Hinch referred to Correa as "a little beat up right now" and intimated that the shortstop may have aggravated his shoulder while making a diving play earlier in the week. Correa will head back to Houston on Wednesday for further evaluation, but Hinch noted that he expects Correa to be back with the team Friday, though it's unclear when, exactly, he might return to the lineup. "We're optimistic that he's going to be able to play this weekend against the Cubs at some point," Hinch said. Alex Bregman will get the nod at shortstop Wednesday in Correa's place.

Correa is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Indians, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
It'll be a rare day of rest for Correa, who hasn't been out of the lineup since June 10-12 against the Rays. He'll be replaced at shortstop by Alex Bregman on Wednesday, and it would be a major surprise if Correa isn't back in action for Thursday's series finale.
