Houston Astros infielder Carlos Correa will miss the rest of the 2026 MLB season due to a torn tendon in his left ankle, requiring surgery. This injury adds to the team's struggles in an already challenging season.
Can things get any worse for the Houston Astros in the 2026 MLB season? According to reports, star infielder Carlos Correa will undergo season-ending surgery after suffering a torn tendon in his left ankle—another major setback in what has already been a disastrous 2026 campaign. Correa was scratched from a recent game before the severity of the situation became clear.
He was later seen in the clubhouse on crutches and confirmed that he suffered a torn tendon in his left ankle—an injury that will require surgery and sideline him for six to eight months. Notably, this is not the same ankle that raised red flags during past free agency negotiations, making this a completely separate—and unfortunate—incident.
