Carlos Correa runs bases as Astros prepare for his return

Houston Astros third baseman Carlos Correa completed a session of base running on Wednesday as he continues his recovery from May ankle surgery. Manager Joe Espada confirmed that Correa is progressing well at the team's minor-league facility in West Palm Beach, Florida. The veteran has already been participating in batting practice and fielding grounders on the field. The organization expects him to face live pitching in the coming days to test his ability to plant on his front foot. Correa has been sidelined since undergoing surgery for a torn peroneus brevis tendon in early May. With 17 games remaining in the regular season, the Astros hold a two-game lead in the American League West and may extend the recovery timeline if the team qualifies for the postseason.
