Astros’ Carlos Correa Out Indefinitely With Significant Left Ankle Injury

Overview

• Carlos Correa, who hurt his left ankle during batting-cage swings Tuesday, was scratched before Houston’s 2-1 win over the Dodgers.
• The Astros moved Nick Allen to shortstop and started Braden Shewmake at third, and Shewmake hit a solo home run off Shohei Ohtani for the decisive run.
• MLB.com’s Brian McTaggart reports the injury is significant, with a Wednesday foot-specialist visit expected to confirm the diagnosis and an indefinite absence that could last weeks or months.
• Houston’s depth is already strained with regulars Yainer Diaz, Jeremy Peña and Jake Meyers sidelined, plus pitchers Hunter Brown, Cristian Javier, Tatsuya Imai and closer Josh Hader on the injured list.
• Correa’s past foot troubles and free‑agent medical flags heighten concern, even though those involved his right ankle, and he had opened 2026 batting .279 with three home runs and 16 RBI.
