The Astros have promoted their top prospect, shortstop Carlos Correa, to Triple A, but his stay there will likely be brief. The 20-year-old shortstop was hitting .385/.459/.726 with seven homers, 32 RBIs and 15 stolen bases in 29 games with Double-A Corpus Christi. He was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 MLB Draft. FANTASY: Scouting Carlos Correa Houston's starting shortstop, Jed Lowrie, is out until the All-Star break with a thumb injury, and the Astros have had trouble getting production out of the position.

Heather Mills is aware that, in all likelihood, she will probably always be best known for marrying a Beatle, Paul McCartney, but she is breaking off the shackles of that previous marriage with daredevil panache. The 47-year-old, who lost her left leg after being hit by a police motorcycle 22 years ago, has set herself the ambitious goal of going over that 200km/h mark in Vars, France, in April. No female disabled skier has ever attempted the record before, which begs the question why? "Why not?" Mills flips back quick as a flash with a laugh in a telephone interview with CNN. The able-bodied female record of 242.59km/h was set by Sweden's Sanna Tidstrand while Australian Michael Milton holds the disability mark with his effort of 213.65km/h set nine years ago.
