Summary
Carlos Correa took a swing in batting practice, heard a pop, and his 2026 season was over. Peroneus brevis tendon repair. Six to eight months. Done.
Also this week: Seattle beat Houston for the ninth consecutive time, setting a franchise record. Tatsuya Imai returned from the IL and posted a 9.24 ERA. Ethan Peco is at Sugar Land with a 1.04 ERA and nobody is talking about it. And René Cárdenas, the first Spanish-language broadcaster in Major League Baseball history, passed away at 96 right here in Houston.
On the farm, Jason Schiavone — the $150,000 eleventh round pick — now leads all of Minor League Baseball in home runs. And down in Fayetteville, Joey Dixon struck out 14 batters in his first 6.1 professional innings after two years in a training room.
Prospect Spotlight: Joey Dixon — the Stanford right-hander who pitched through a partially torn UCL in college, missed two years of professional baseball, and came back throwing 96 with 14 strikeouts in his first six innings.
