Houston is playing Correa at third base for the first time in his career to take over Paredes's spot.

Carlos Correa is returning to Houston. The Astros reacquired the three-time All-Star shortstop from the Minnesota Twins just before Thursday’s trade deadline.

The Minnesota Twins' decision to trade Carlos Correa may have inadvertently set the wheels in motion on another major deal the team made last Thursday.
