Astros shortstop Carlos Correa exits game after diving catch attempt

But it got a little worse on Friday night as Carlos Correa exited the game against the Angels in the ninth inning after falling hard on a diving catch attempt.

Correa appeared to fall hard on his glove shoulder has headed straight out to catch a double from Rafel Ortega. Correa has already been dealing with inflammation in that same shoulder earlier this season.

There was no word on Correa’s status after Friday’s game. Correa’s injury was salt in the wound as the Angels scored three runs on the play to push their lead to 10-6 and complete their comeback victory.
