Doubles twice Monday Correa went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles, an RBI and two runs in Monday's 11-8 loss to the Mariners.
Impact The two-hit day ended a 3-for-46 skid over the past 13 games for Correa, who has seen his season average plummet 30 points to .270 amid the massive slide. The 26-year-old isn't in any jeopardy of losing hold of the everyday gig at shortstop, but his midsummer swoon could lessen the Astros' willingness to offer him a long-term contract extension before he becomes an unrestricted free agent this winter.

Slump lingers Correa went 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 4-3 win over Cleveland.
Impact Correa's been fighting a slump since early July, which was made worse by a stint on the COVID-19 injured list. Since a sixth-inning single July 4, the shortstop has gone 0-for-26 with 13 strikeouts. In the middle of that stretch, he was placed on the injured list. He confirmed to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com that he tested negative for the virus but was hospitalized and required intravenous fluids July 9. Correa said his timing has been off since coming back from the illness.

Remains out Sunday Correa (illness) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Manager Dusty Baker said Saturday that the shortstop was still feeling sick and that he was unlikely to rejoin the club Sunday. Correa figures to remain on the COVID-19 IL for the series finale, though he has not been reported to have tested positive for the virus. The 26-year-old announced earlier this week that he would not be traveling to Denver for the All-Star Game, so he will rest up as he looks to return to the lineup Friday against the White Sox.
