BOSTON, MA – August 1, 2025 – For the first time in nearly four years, the beloved trio of Alex Bregman, Carlos Correa, and Jose Altuve is set to share an infield in Houston Astros uniforms tonight, as Correa makes his highly anticipated return to the club against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Correa, acquired in a blockbuster trade just yesterday, is expected to start at third base for the Astros. This move allows the returning Jeremy Peña, activated from the injured list today, to remain at his natural shortstop position, creating a formidable defensive alignment around second baseman Jose Altuve and Bregman at third.
The reunion is particularly emotional for the players and fans alike. Altuve, the longest-tenured Astro and one of Correa’s closest friends, will be reunited with his former double-play partner. Bregman, another long-time teammate and key piece of the Astros’ core, will also share the left side of the infield with Correa once again, albeit with a slight positional swap.
Correa’s first game back is set for 6:10 p.m. CDT tonight. Fans looking to catch the historic reunion will need a subscription to Apple TV+, Fubo, or MLB.com, as the game will not be on regular television. After a whirlwind trade deadline, seeing these three champions back together on the field marks a thrilling new chapter for the Houston Astros.
