The Houston Astros are getting their young stud back.

Carlos Correa will return to the lineup and bat fourth for the Astros in their game against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, after missing the past four with shoulder inflammation. The 21-year-old shortstop sustained the injury making a diving play in Monday's game against Cleveland.

Correa's absence has been felt, as the Astros lost three of the four games he missed, falling three games behind for the final American League wild-card spot.

On the year, Correa is hitting .274/.362/.460 with 19 home runs and 90 RBIs. Before his injury, he had a 12-game hit streak and an AL-leading 23 doubles since June 20.
