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.
