Carlos Correa is not in the lineup Friday as the Houston Astros get set to take on the Minnesota Twins.

The young shortstop will miss the game with a sore left hamstring, although it's nothing to be concerned about.

"Just a little soreness in the (left) hamstring," Correa told reporters. "It's nothing to be worried about.

"It's the everyday grind," he said.

Marwin Gonzalez will replace Correa at shortstop, batting seventh in the team's lineup.

Correa is hitting .278/.347/.856 with 15 home runs and 43 RBIs in 294 plate appearances.
