Astros' Correa and Altuve miss 2026 WBC due to insurance issues covering injury risks.
Houston Astros stars Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve will not play in the 2026 World Baseball Classic due to insurance issues.
An outside insurer refused to cover potential injury-related absences from the MLB season, leaving both players without protection for their 2026 salaries—$31.5 million for Correa and $30 million for Altuve.
Despite their desire to represent Puerto Rico and Venezuela, respectively, both were advised by Astros ownership to prioritize health and team readiness.
The decision reflects growing concerns over player safety and financial risk, especially after Altuve missed games in 2023 due to a WBC injury.
