Carlos Correa made his triumphant return to Daikin Park in Houston Monday after he was traded to the Astros at Major League Baseball's trade deadline.

The star shortstop spent the first seven seasons of his career in Houston before he signed with the Twins in free agency ahead of the 2022 season. Correa, who helped the team capture the '17 World Series title, waived his no-trade clause to reunite with the Astros.

His return to the Astros began with a long nine-game road trip, which ended Monday as they hosted the Red Sox. As Correa was announced for his first at-bat back at home in front of the Astros fans, he received a warm round of applause and tipped his helmet in the air to acknowledge the crowd before stepping up to bat.

Correa's return wasn't the only one at Daikin Park Monday.
