Astros infielder Carlos Correa says doctor halted his comeback attempt after ankle surgery

Correa will rest and get further imaging after his doctor said a return now could leave him unready for spring training.

  • Houston manager Joe Espada announced Tuesday that Carlos Correa will not return this season, ending the infielder's attempt to come back from left ankle surgery.
  • The decision followed medical advice from a doctor who determined the tendon was not mature enough, noting that returning could jeopardize the Houston Astros infielder's readiness for next season.
  • Correa participated in live batting practice but experienced inflammation for two to three days while attempting to rejoin the Astros against Tampa Bay, stalling his comeback hopes.
  • During an interview Friday, the infielder stated, "I don't feel comfortable with this," confirming he would not play for the time being.
  • Expecting 100% recovery by spring training with no limitations, Correa plans to undergo another MRI in two months to monitor his rehabilitation progress.
