Scouting Report: Carlos Correa
Houston Astros | SS
Overall
Summary
Carlos Correa suffered a complete tear of a tendon in his left ankle during batting practice on May 5, 2026, before a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The injury occurred on a normal swing when he felt and heard a loud pop. Correa underwent season-ending surgery with an expected 6-8 month recovery timeline. At the time of injury, he was batting .279/.369/.418 with 3 home runs and 16 RBIs in 32 games (23 at shortstop, 14 at third base). This is a devastating blow to an already injury-plagued Astros team that has multiple players on the injured list. The injury is to his left ankle, not his previously problematic right ankle that caused concerns during his free agency in 2022-23.
Strengths
- Injury is to left ankle, not the right ankle that caused previous medical concerns during free agency
- Pre-injury performance was solid and consistent (.279 BA, .787 OPS)
