Astros 3rd baseman, Carlos Correa, is expected to have surgery and miss 6-8 weeks with a torn ligament in his left thumb. Correa left last night’s game after injuring himself while swinging and missing a pitch. The guys from The Usual Suspects discussed the injury and how the Astros should proceed without Correa.
