HOUSTON (AP) All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa of the Houston Astros is expected to miss 6-8 weeks with a torn ligament in his left thumb.
The Astros put Correa on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday and recalled Colin Moran from Triple A Fresno in time for an evening game against Seattle. Houston general manager Jeff Luhnow said losing Correa was a ”big blow,” but he is expected back for the stretch run in September. Houston opened the day 15 + games ahead of the Mariners in the AL West.
Correa is batting .320 with 18 doubles and 20 home runs, and his 67 RBIs are second in the American League.
