The Houston Astros could be getting one of their major contributors back in the lineup soon.
AT&T SportsNet’s Astros reporter Julia Morales said on Monday that Carlos Correa will be on his rehab assignment Tuesday and Wednesday. Most significantly, she says Correa will likely return early in the Astros’ homestand, which begins on Thursday.
Carlos Correa (lower back soreness) will continue his rehab assignment in Corpus Christi Tuesday and Wednesday. He’ll play the field for all 9 innings and likely return early on the upcoming homestand.

Correa has been out since June 25 due to a back injury. The 23-year-old shortstop is batting .268 with an .832 OPS in 73 games this season.
Houston remains in first in the AL West but would like to create some separation from the hot A’s, who are on their tail.
