Correa is slated to bat third in manager A.J. Hinch's lineup, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is confirming what was already highly probable, but there is some question of whether the Houston lineup will go Jose Altuve, George Springer, Correa to start, or if Hinch will break them up with a left-handed hitter. Whatever is decided, it appears Correa's spot in the lineup will not be affected. The 20-year-old occupied the three-hole nearly everyday in the second half of 2015.

Correa went 4-for-4 with a double, two home runs, four RBI and two runs scored Monday during Houston's Game 4 ALDS loss to Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Correa, who turned 21 on September 22, became the youngest player in MLB history to go 4-for-4 in the postseason. He also became the youngest player in AL history to hit two home runs in a postseason game. Finally, he broke the record for most total bases in a postseason game by a shortstop with 11, surpassing Derek Jeter's 10 total bases in Game 1 of the 2006 ALDS. Correa was in no mood to celebrate his personal highlights, however, as he was already focused on Wednesday's winner-take-all Game 5. "There are no emotions," he said after the game. "We have to focus on the next game. We can't do anything by beating ourselves up right now. We have to focus on the next game and try to win it."

Correa (knee) said he will play Sunday in Game 3 of the ALDS, Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 21-year-old fouled a ball off his right knee during Friday's Game 2, as he did in Thursday's Game 1, and Correa admitted he is dealing with some swelling and pain. However, Correa brushed off the notion he could miss time, saying that he will be good to go following Saturday's off day. He has gone 2-for-9 with two singles and four strikeouts so far in the series.

Correa was brilliant on Friday, going 3-for-4 with a home run, a triple, a steal, four RBI and four runs scored in a 21-5 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
This was just a crazy game for the Astros and Correa was in the heart of the barrage. The rookie continues to impress, as he provides in every facet of the game. There might be no better shortstop option going into drafts next season with the potential Correa has shown.

Correa had a huge game Saturday, going 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie now has an incredible 21 home runs in 92 games, and it could be tough to argue against Correa being the first shortstop off the board in next year's drafts.

Correa went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in a 10-6 win over Oakland on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie is having a fantastic season and he's got to be the front-runner for AL Rookie of the Year at this point. In 86 games played this season, Correa has 18 homers and 12 steals to go along with a .275 average. If you average those out to a full season, that's a 30-plus home run, 20-plus steal pace. Those statistics alone would easily make him the number one shortstop in fantasy.

Correa went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and walk in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Correa's conquest of left-handed pitching continues, as the 20-year-old has produced a .974 OPS against southpaws in 90 at-bats. The rookie Correa's 18 home runs rank second among qualified shortstops, despite receiving 163 fewer plate appearances than leader Brandon Crawford. Look for Correa to sweep the top categories of shortstop for years to come.

Correa went 1-for-3 with a walk, a steal and a run scored in a 3-2 loss to the Angels on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Correa has had a rough start to the month, as he's only hitting .212 coming into the game. A player this young is bound to have some regression and the final month of the season may be a tough one with teams getting more used to his aggressive style. With that said, Correa is still one of the best shortstops in baseball and s surely going to be an asset in fantasy playoffs over the next few weeks.

Correa hit his 17th home run and knocked in four runs in Monday's loss to Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
Correa now has 17 home runs on the season and a .281/.346/.514 line after the 1-for-4 performance. Despite playing in only 75 games, he is tied for second among major league shortstops with Ian Desmond and Troy Tulowitzki in home runs. His .859 OPS leads all shortstops with at least 200 plate appearances by 47 points as the number one pick is living up to the hype.
