Correa Day-to-Day With Neck Stiffness; Could Shift to Shortstop

Carlos Correa was scratched from Friday's Grapefruit League lineup against the Nationals due to stiffness on the right side of his neck and is currently day-to-day. Manager Joe Espada confirmed that if Jeremy Pena is unavailable for Opening Day due to his finger injury, Correa will slide from third base to his familiar shortstop position, with Isaac Paredes taking over at third. Despite the minor neck issue, Correa remains a vital, versatile piece of the Astros' infield plans.
