Houston Astros rule out Carlos Correa's return as ankle flares
Houston Astros star Carlos Correa will not return this season as the team chases a playoff berth, manager Joe Espada said Tuesday. Correa had been working to make a comeback after undergoing left ankle surgery on May 11 that was expected to keep him out six to eight months. It appeared this weekend that he was nearing a return and Espada said Sunday that he would likely play rehabilitation games for Triple-A Sugar Land this week.
Instead they decided to give up on him playing again this season and focus on being ready for spring training next year.
