Carlos Correa (ankle) has progressed to running the bases.

Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters the current plan is for Correa to start taking at-bats in live batting practice this week. That would presumably put him on track to either start a rehab assignment or jump back into Houston’s lineup before the regular season concludes. The 31-year-old third baseman is working his way back from mid-May surgery repair a torn tendon in his ankle that was believed to be a season-ending procedure at the time.
