Astros shortstop Carlos Correa reportedly out indefinitely with ankle injury suffered in warmups before win over Dodgers

The Houston Astros are going to be without shortstop Carlos Correa for the foreseeable future.

Correa was a late scratch from the team’s 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night after he went down with an ankle injury during pregame warmups. Correa, according to MLB.com’s Brian McTaggart, injured his ankle while taking swings in a batting cage.

Correa is set to meet with a foot specialist on Wednesday morning. While specifics of his injury are not yet known, the expectation is that he will be out indefinitely and could miss “weeks, or maybe even months.”

“Carlos is a cornerstone in this clubhouse,” Astros first baseman Christian Walker said, via MLB.com. “The guys lean on him. We look to him for leadership. I know that his presence will continue to be felt, but we’re just going to continue to pray for him and stay positive.”

Correa holds a .279 batting average this season with three home runs and 16 RBIs. He went 0-for-4 in Monday’s 8-3 win over the Dodgers.

Correa will be just the latest Astros player to land on IL. Shortstop Jeremy Pena is still recovering from a fractured finger and hamstring strain, and opening day starters Yanier Diaz, Joey Loperfido and Jake Meyers have all gone down with various injuries.
