Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa is absent from Tuesday's lineup versus the Chicago Cubs because of rib soreness.
It's Correa's second straight absence. Jack Mayfield is covering shortstop Tuesday and batting sixth against Cubs left-hander Jon Lester. There should be an update on Correa's status after the game.
Correa is slashing .295/.360/.547 with 11 homers, 13 doubles, 35 RBI, and 26 runs scored in 214 plate appearances this season.
