Per The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, Correa will move from shortstop to third base to replace Isaac Paredes, who is out for the season with a torn hamstring. Jeremy Peña, Correa's direct replacement at shortstop in Houston, will keep his position. It will be the first time in Correa's MLB career that he plays a position other than shortstop.
