The Houston Astros decided to bring back a familiar face in Carlos Correa on Thursday before MLB’s trade deadline. Houston’s decision to reunite with the veteran infielder is earning praise from MLB Network’s Steve Phillips.

The Astros have a stellar shortstop in All-Star Jeremy Pena, so Correa has agreed to play third base. He was at the position against Boston on Friday and batting in the cleanup spot.

Carlos Correa has returned to the Houston Astros. Correa was a beloved player during his first stint with the Astros, helping them win their first World Series.
