Astros' Carlos Correa: Out until at least Friday

Correa is dealing with inflammation in his left shoulder and will return to Houston to visit with team doctors, Biran McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Manager A.J. Hinch referred to Correa as "a little beat up right now" and intimated that the shortstop may have aggravated his shoulder while making a diving play earlier in the week. Correa will head back to Houston on Wednesday for further evaluation, but Hinch noted that he expects Correa to be back with the team Friday, though it's unclear when, exactly, he might return to the lineup. "We're optimistic that he's going to be able to play this weekend against the Cubs at some point," Hinch said. Alex Bregman will get the nod at shortstop Wednesday in Correa's place.
