Astros shortstop Carlos Correa is getting the first day off of his young career, as he is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game with the Royals. Correa had started each of the 22 games since being called up on June 8.

But after going hitless in back-to-back games for the first time, Correa will start Wednesday's game on the bench. Marwin Gonzalez will get the start at shortstop, batting eighth on Wednesday.
