HOUSTON – A struggling Houston Astros team has been dealt another devastating blow.
Wednesday morning, it was announced that star shortstop Carlos Correa will miss the remainder of the 2026 season after tearing a tendon in his left ankle.
The news was first reported by MLB.com Astros beat reporter Brian McTaggart. He added that Correa was seen in the Astros’ clubhouse walking with crutches.

Correa last appeared as Houston’s leadoff hitter on Monday, when the Astros fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers at home, 8-3.
The 12th-year player from Puerto Rico was on pace for another strong season, appearing in 32 of the Astros’ 37 games so far and batting .279 with three home runs and 16 RBIs.
As a team, the Astros have fallen short of expectations early this season, sitting at 15-22. They are currently in fourth place in the AL West and 14th overall in the American League.
After taking down Los Angeles—with Shohei Ohtani on the mound—last night, the Astros will have a chance to take the series at 1:10 p.m. today. Lance McCullers Jr. (1-2) will start for Houston against Tyler Glasnow.
