Correa went 1-for-5 with a solo homer and a walk Friday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Correa's ninth homer of the year tied the game in the eighth inning of a game the Astros would lose in 11 innings. The bomb was his first extra-base hit in six games and the first round-tripper he's hit since May 29.

Correa (ankle) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals, Angel Verdejo Jr. of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Correa missed the previous three games with a sprained left ankle, but it looks like he benefitted from the team's off day Monday and is ready to get back into the lineup. He'll return to his usual spot in the field at shortstop and bat cleanup Tuesday against St. Louis lefty Jaime Garcia.

Correa (ankle), who is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rays for the third straight game, expects to return to a starting role for Tuesday's series opener with the Cardinals, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Correa likely would have been ready to go Sunday if it were a playoff game, but with the Astros in the midst of a long season and an off day looming Monday, the team decided it was best to prolong the star shortstop's rest. After taking part in batting practice and fielding drills prior to Sunday's game, Correa should be available in a pinch-hitting capacity, if needed.

Correa (ankle) is out of the lineup for the third straight game Sunday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Correa tested his ankle Saturday and reported "it didn't feel great, but it felt good." His ankle clearly hasn't improved enough to feel comfortable playing however, as he remains out Sunday. Marwin Gonzalez will start at shortstop and bat second in his stead.

Correa tested his ankle out Saturday and indicated "It didn't feel great, but it felt good. Hopefully, I will be back there soon," the Houston Chronicle reports. The Astros haven't ruled out their prized shortstop rejoining the lineup as soon as Sunday, and he may be available to pinch-hit Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Correa additionally hit in an indoor batting cage and fielded some ground balls before Saturday's contest, suggesting he's making some significant progress in his recovery. While it's no guarantee he will play Sunday, it's best to consider him day-to-day at the moment.

Correa (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Marwin Gonzalez will make another start at short in place of Correa, who is still recovering from a sprained left ankle. Correa is listed as day-to-day, so there is hope he'll be able to avoid a stint on the disabled list, but the Astros won't rush him back into the lineup before his ankle is ready for game action.

Correa (ankle) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Correa was listed as day-to-day after exiting Thursday's game with his ankle injury, and it turns out the setback will prevent him from taking the field for at least one day. Marwin Gonzalez will get the start at shortstop in Correa's place.

Correa was diagnosed with a left ankle sprain Thursday and he is listed as day-to-day, Brian McTaggart of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The star shortstop exited Thursday's game against the Rangers after awkwardly stepping on the side of first base in the fifth inning. Fortunately, he was able to walk off the field under his own power and according to McTaggart's follow-up, Correa may have avoided an injury that would cause him to miss significant time. His status heading into Friday's series opener in Tampa Bay is in some question at this point, so owners will want to confirm his status in the lineup prior to first pitch. If Correa is held out of Friday's contest, Marwin Gonzalez would likely take over at shortstop.

Correa went 3-for-5 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Saturdays' 6-5 extra-inning victory over the A's.
EDGE Analysis
The young shortstop is starting to come on at the plate, and was the hero Saturday after singling in George Springer with the winning run in the 12th inning. The 21-year-old now has his average up to .267 on the strength of a seven-game hitting streak, and curiously has all three of his triples on the season over the first four games of June. Correa also has four multi-hit outings over his last six contests.
