Correa (rib) was activated from the 60-day injured list Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. He is starting at shortstop and hitting fifth against the Cardinals, per Rome.

As expected, Correa will rejoin the Astros ahead of Friday's series opener after spending the past two months on the shelf with a cracked rib. The shortstop completed a six-game rehab stint before being activated, slashing .333/.417/.476 with three doubles in those contests. Correa will look to pick up where he left off prior to the injury, as he compiled a .295/.360/.547 triple slash with 11 homers in 50 games before landing on the shelf. Tony Kemp was designated for assignment to free up a roster spot for Correa.
