The Houston Astros decided to bring back a familiar face in Carlos Correa on Thursday before MLB’s trade deadline. Houston’s decision to reunite with the veteran infielder is earning praise from MLB Network’s Steve Phillips.

Correa was at third and batting cleanup. He had played 1,186 games at shortstop in his major league career, and none at third base; he did play some third base for Puerto Rico during the World Baseball Classic.

A whirlwind 48 hours for Carlos Correa saw him traded back to the Astros and hitting cleanup Friday in Boston. He said it "feels great."
