The ankle that failed physicals of the New York Mets and the San Francisco Giants in the 2022-23 MLB offseason has finally caught up to Carlos Correa. The Houston Astros suffered a setback on Wednesday after it was announced that Correa will miss the remainder of the season due to ankle surgery.
Before the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Correa was in the middle of his batting practice when he sustained the injury to his left ankle. He reportedly felt a "pop" in his ankle while swinging. Imaging showed that there is a torn tendon in the ankle. Therefore, he will require surgery and 6 to 8 months of recovery, eliminating his possible return this season.
This is a major blow for the Astros since Correa was hitting .279 with three home runs and 16 RBIs this season. But the injury was predicted four years ago in some way.
