MLB trade rumors: Astros reunite with third baseman ahead of series vs. Red Sox

a day ago

A familiar face is heading back to Houston.
The Minnesota Twins traded Carlos Correa to the Astros on Thursday, according to multiple reports. He will play third base for the team, according to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand.
The 30-year-old waived his no-trade clause for the deal to go through.
Correa spent his first seven MLB seasons with the Astros, winning a World Series with the team in 2017 when Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora was the team's bench coach.
Correa and the Astros visit the Red Sox for a three-game set beginning Friday night at Fenway Park.
The 2021 Gold Glove winner has been with the Twins since 2022. Correa got off to a slow start this season but started to show signs of life in May before slumping again in June.
Correa hasn't been able to find consistency at the plate this season, but perhaps returning to the team he spent a majority of his career with can help turn things around.
The Astros will have Correa under control through the 2028 season, with club options from 2029-2032.

Luke Keaschall drives in three runs as Twins beat Tigers 9-4

DETROIT (AP) — Luke Keaschall drove in three runs for the second straight game and the Minnesota Twins beat the Detroit Tigers 9-4 on Wednesday. Keaschell is hitting .393 in his nine-game major league career, which was interrupted in April by a broken arm. He returned on Tuesday and has four hits and six RBIs in his first two games back. Thomas Hatch (1-0) picked up the win with 4 1/3 scoreless innings of relief. He was claimed off waivers on Monday from the Kansas City Royals. Jack Flaherty (6-11) took the loss, giving up six runs in 4 2/3 innings. The Twins took a 2-0 lead in the first. Alan Roden and Matt Wallner started the game with singles, and Keaschall drove them in with a two-out double. Keaschall had three RBIs in Tuesday's 6-3 win, including his first career homer. Minnesota made it 3-0 in the second when Brooks Lee scored on a wild pitch, but Spencer Torkelson's 24th homer narrowed the game to two runs in the bottom of the inning. Zach McKinstry pulled the Tigers within one with a leadoff homer in the third and Kerry Carpenter's two-run shot put Detroit ahead 4-3 later in the inning. Lee homered in the fourth and the Twins took a 6-4 lead on RBI doubles by Ryan Jeffers and Keaschall in the fifth. Austin Martin and Roden homered off Tyler Holton in the sixth. Key moment The Tigers had runners on first and third with one out in the eighth and their 3-4-5 hitters due up. A.J. Hinch sent Jahmai Jones in to hit for Carpenter and Kody Funderburke got him to ground into an inning-ending double play. Key stat Keaschall has reached base in his first nine career games, the second-longest streak in Twins history. Glenn Williams reached in his first 13 games in 2005. Up next Each team is off on Thursday before starting weekend home series on Friday. Twins ace RHP Joe Ryan (10-5, 2.83) is scheduled to start against the Kansas City Royals, while Tigers All-Star LHP Tarik Skubal (11-3, 2.18) will face the Los Angeles Angels. ___ AP MLB:
