Houston Astros SS Carlos Correa Expected to Undergo Season-Ending Ankle Surgery

The Astros made late lineup changes after Correa was scratched, and Yainer Diaz was also removed the previous day.

  • The Houston Astros scratched starting shortstop Carlos Correa from their game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday due to a left ankle injury.
  • Before the sudden lineup change, the Astros had originally planned for Correa to lead off and play shortstop in the game.
  • Nick Allen moved from third base to shortstop to replace Correa, while Braden Shewmake entered the lineup at third base and Jose Altuve shifted to the leadoff spot.
  • Just before the first pitch, the Astros announced the change. Correa has 3 home runs this season but struggled with three strikeouts during the series opener against the Dodgers.
  • This marks the second straight day Houston has scratched a player shortly before game time, following Catcher Yainer Diaz's removal from the lineup due to an oblique injury.
