Astros Hope Correa, Alvarez Return Boost Playoff Push
The Houston Astros reacquired Carlos Correa from the Minnesota Twins at the MLB trade deadline in a move aimed at revitalizing their playoff chances amid a recent slump and a string of injuries. Correa has been shifted to third base because of Isaac Paredes' injury and has delivered strong performances, batting .346 with a .931 OPS in his first six games back, although the team has gone just 2-4 in those contests and 8-10 since the All-Star break. The trade has been widely praised, with Correa's history in Houston and postseason experience expected to provide leadership and a competitive spark. However, the Astros' offense is currently ranked 10th in the AL for runs per game, and they continue to miss several Opening Day starters, including Yordan Alvarez and Brendan Rodgers. Alvarez is nearing the end of his rehab assignment and is expected to return soon, which could give the team a significant boost. Despite their struggles, the Astros hold a narrow lead in the AL West and are counting on Correa and the return of injured stars to fuel another postseason run.
