Red Sox unleash offense and crush Tigers; harshly punish Valdez in Detroit<\/a><\/p>\n\n\nThe injury occurred while the player was taking swings in the batting cage prior to Tuesday’s game, in which the Astros defeated the Dodgers 2-1 at Daikin Park. Correa, who had a batting average of .279 with three home runs and 16 RBIs, represents a significant loss both on the field and in the clubhouse.\n\nBeyond his numbers, the Puerto Rican has been a key piece in the team’s leadership since his return to the club, becoming a reference for his teammates on and off the field.\n\n“Carlos is a cornerstone in this clubhouse. His leadership is fundamental to all of us,” expressed first baseman Christian Walker.\n\nThe absence of Correa worsens the situation for the Astros, who already have several important absences in their lineup, including Yainer D\u00edaz, Joey Loperfido, and Jake Meyers. In addition, Jeremy Pe\u00f1a continues in the recovery process, although he could return to action soon.\n\nFaced with this situation, the team will have to reorganize its infield, with Isaac Paredes taking on a more prominent role as they seek to remain competitive in the American League West Division.\n\nCorrea’s injury adds to a complicated history in his career, being considered one of the most significant he has faced to date.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HOUSTON. \u2013 Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa will undergo surgery on his left ankle that will sideline him for the remainder of the 2026 season, a source confirmed to MLB.com this Wednesday.
