Losing Correa

The Astros place Carlos Correa on the disabled list:

The Astros will place All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa on the 10-day disabled list Friday with a sore back, manager AJ Hinch said Thursday. A corresponding roster move will be announced prior to Friday’s game against the Rays.

Correa, 23, has been out of action since Monday and continues to progress, but not enough to where the Astros felt they could play him this weekend. Correa would be eligible to return July 6 against the White Sox at Minute Maid Park.

Correa is hitting well below his 2017 level, although his numbers would be considered very good for anyone else. Maybe the rest will get him back to form.
