Astros shortstop must wait to get going after wisdom teeth removal

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — It's easy to see that Carlos Correa doesn't feel well from across the Houston Astros clubhouse.

His face is partially obscured by the hood of a bright orange sweatshirt he pulled on after changing out of his street clothes on Saturday morning, but what you can of his face beneath the shadow of the hoodie isn't the normal look for the charismatic 22-year-old shortstop.

"It's so sore," Correa mumbles.

The "it" he is referring to is his mouth. He had four wisdom teeth removed two days ago, a procedure that had to be done after a toothache developed last week.
