Things are really looking up for the Houston Astros.
Manager A.J. Hinch announced Saturday that the team intends to activate shortstop Carlos Correa for Sunday’s game, where he will return to the cleanup spot and play shortstop.
Carlos Correa will workout today and should be activated tomorrow. He'll bat 4th and play shortstop.

Correa has not played since July 17 due to a torn thumb ligament. He was hitting .320 with 20 home runs before succumbing to injury. The news comes at a great time for the Astros, who have just acquired an ace pitcher for the stretch run and are finally getting back to Houston after the disaster caused by Hurricane Harvey.
