Astros star done for year

HOUSTON — Houston’s Carlos Correa has a torn tendon in his left ankle that will require season-ending surgery.

The star infielder gave the update on his injury Wednesday. Correa was injured the day prior while taking swings in the batting cage before a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Correa was on crutches and in a walking boot Wednesday morning at the ballpark after seeing a foot specialist.

He said he would seek some other opinions before scheduling the surgery. Correa said the injury was a complete tear and his recovery is expected to take six to eight months.

Elsewhere in MLB:

n Tigers pitcher Framber Valdez was suspended for five games and fined, one day after he was ejected for hitting Boston’s Trevor Story with a pitch during a 10-2 loss in which he allowed a career-high 10 runs. Valdez was at first banned for six games by MLB, which cited him for intentionally throwing a pitch at Story, but the penalty was reduced in an agreement between MLB and the players’ association. He started serving the penalty during Wednesday’s series finale and barring rainouts will be eligible to pitch next Wednesday at the Mets.
