OAKLAND -- Astros star shortstop Carlos Correa, in a video posted Friday on the YouTube channel of his fiancee Daniella Rodriguez, detailed how he suffered a cracked rib during a massage at his home Tuesday in Houston, an injury that is expected to sideline him up to six weeks.

Correa, speaking on camera alongside Rodriguez in a video released Friday, said he was getting his daily massage at his home Tuesday morning when he heard a crack and immediately started to experience some pain.

¡°I was getting a massage on this area on the ribs and I heard a crack when my masseuse pressed on this area over here on my ribs,¡± he said, pointing to his right side. ¡°I looked and I was [like], ¡®What was that?¡¯ Immediately after, my side started hurting when I was breathing, when I was walking. At that point I figured something was not right, so I obviously called the Astros to let them know.¡±

Correa didn¡¯t play Tuesday against the Cubs after an MRI revealed he had a rib fracture. The team announced the injury Wednesday and put Correa on the 10-day injured list. He¡¯s expected to be out of action for four to six weeks.

¡°We¡¯re here to tell you story the story because a lot of you guys have been concerned,¡± Correa said. ¡°I want to thank everybody for your support. Your support really means a lot coming from the organization, the Houston Astros, also my teammates. Everybody¡¯s been sending me text messages and the support is great.¡±

In the five-minute-long video, Correa and Rodriguez dismissed internet rumors about the injury. At one point, Correa partially removed his shirt to show there wasn¡¯t any bruising on the right side of his torso, where the broken rib occurred.

¡°There¡¯s no bruises like I fell on something or I got hit,¡± he said.

The Correa injury was a blow to an Astros club that saw All-Star center fielder George Springer and infielder Aledmys Diaz both go down with hamstring strains in the last week. All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve has also been out since May 10 with a hamstring strain and is now suffering from right leg fatigue, perhaps delaying his return by a few weeks.

¡°We¡¯re going to stay positive and focus on the rehab now and focus on everything we can do to get back on the field and help the team perform,¡± Correa said. ¡°I can¡¯t wait to be back on the field.¡±
