Carlos Correa Has Deviated Septum Needs Surgery.
Astros shortstop Carlos Correa underwent surgery Monday to repair a deviated septum, he told reporters Saturday afternoon during an event at Minute Maid Park.
Correa said he was having trouble breathing through his nose while running the bases, but hopes the surgery will help alleviate the issue moving forward.
I was having trouble breathing and I saw a doctor and she told me I needed surgery on my nose and I was like, All right, lets fix it.
Correa battled a sore back in the second half of the season and into the playoffs and said Saturday he felt good but hadnt yet started his offseason training program because of his nose.
