Carlos Correa running, taking ground balls

Astros infield prospect Carlos Correa, who broke his fibula in June, has progressed so well that he has been able to run and take ground balls while working out in Florida, MLB.com reports.

"It's a very good sign, where we feel like we're ahead of plan, which is a good place to be," general manager Jeff Luhnow said. "I've seen a lot of guys go through injury recovery before, and he's as diligent and focused on healing as possible. Obviously, the body has to heal naturally, but he's not going to let any lack of effort and work delay him by one day."

Correa is expected to take ground balls and batting practice during the instructional league, though he won't see any game action.
