Carlos Correa said he’s resumed all baseball activities except for hitting and thinks he might able to make it back this year.
Correa underwent what was supposed to be season-ending ankle surgery to repair a torn tendon back in mid-May. He’s due for a followup appointment on Tuesday, after which he hopes to start hitting. It’d be interesting to see how the Astros would fit Correa in if he’s able to make it back. Jose Altuve seems like their weak link in the infield right now, but none of the alternatives are experienced at second. If Christian Walker is still struggling, perhaps he could do some sitting, with Isaac Paredes moving to first. Of course, Correa still have a few hurdles to clear before it’s worth giving this serious thought.
