The Houston Astros' clubhouse was energized Friday as players welcomed back Carlos Correa, then raved about his abilities with the bat and glove as well as with his leadership.

Correa was at third and batting cleanup. He had played 1,186 games at shortstop in his major league career, and none at third base; he did play some third base for Puerto Rico during the World Baseball Classic.

Carlos Correa is back with the Houston Astros, reuniting one of the franchise’s most iconic players with the city where he became a star. While Astros fans are more than familiar with Correa, the man behind the blockbuster trade hasn’t met him yet.
