Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve will not participate in the upcoming World Baseball Classic due to insurance issues, as they were deemed uninsurable by MLB’s insurance company. Both players, who have previous WBC experience representing Puerto Rico and Venezuela respectively, face risks of injury that could impact their salaries and the Houston Astros’ 2026 season. The Astros aim for a healthy roster after a challenging 2025 season marred by injuries. Prioritizing their players’ health is essential for the team’s success after missing the postseason for the first time since 2016.
