Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (hand) is back in the lineup for Thursday afternoon's meeting with the Los Angeles Angels.
Correa hurt his hand when he was hit by a pitch on Saturday, forcing him to miss three games, but MRIs and X-rays both came back negative, so he'll be back in action starting at shortstop and batting cleanup on Thursday.
Correa has opened the 2017 season slashing .234/.315/.298 with a .271 wOBA through 54 plate appearances, though his hefty 41.0 percent hard-hit rate is a good indicator that his production will start to pick up moving forward.
