Latches on with Yankees
Corona signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Thursday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact
Corona spent nearly all of the 2025 season with the Astros' Triple-A affiliate, where he slashed .220/.308/.326 with 36 RBI, 50 runs scored and 18 stolen bases across 433 plate appearances. Given his offensive struggles in the minors, it seems overwhelmingly likely that the 25-year-old outfielder heads to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for the 2026 campaign.

Clears waivers
Corona was outrighted to Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact
Corona was placed on waivers Tuesday and went unclaimed. He's eligible to become a free agent, but could also stick around as organizational depth.

Waived by Houston
The Astros placed Corona on outright waivers Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Corona spent the vast majority of his time at Triple-A Sugar Land in 2025, where he finished the season with a .220/.308/.326 slash line through 433 plate appearances. If he clears waivers, he will most likely return to Sugar Land and begin the 2026 season as organizational outfield depth.

Dispatched to Sugar Land
The Astros optioned Corona to Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact
The 25-year-old will head back to the minors to make room for Chas McCormick (oblique), who was reinstated from the injured list Friday. Corona appeared in just three games during his first career stint in the majors, going 0-for-2 with two walks in the process.

Astros first baseman Christian Walker is on paternity leave; Kenedy Corona recalled
The Houston Astros have placed first baseman Christian Walker on paternity leave ahead of their series against the Cleveland Guardians

Receives first MLB call-up
The Astros recalled Corona from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday.
Impact
Corona is midway through his second season as a member of the Astros' 40-man roster, but Monday marks his first call-up to the big club. Though Houston placed first baseman Christian Walker (personal) on the paternity list in a corresponding move, Corona won't be a direct replacement for him in the lineup and is instead on hand to provide depth in the outfield while Jake Meyers manages a sore calf. Corona is a standout defender who's capable of handling all three outfield spots, but he hasn't showcased a big-league-caliber bat at Triple-A this season. In 76 games with Sugar Land, Corona slashed .228/.315/.351 with six home runs and an 8-for-13 success rate on stolen-base attempts.

Heading to minors
The Astros optioned Corona to minor-league camp Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact
Corona has yet to make his MLB debut and struggled to the tune of a .213/.314/.289 slash line over 396 plate appearances between Double-A Corpus Christi and Triple-A Sugar Land in 2024, so he never seemed to have much of a case for a spot on Houston's Opening Day roster. The speedy 24-year-old will play regularly in the minors to begin the season and could join Houston at some point later in 2025 if the big club's outfield depth is tested.

Added to 40-man roster
The Astros selected Corona to their 40-man roster Tuesday.
Impact
Corona, 23, slashed .251/.331/.458 with 22 home runs and 32 stolen bases over 117 games this past season between High-A Asheville and Double-A Corpus Christi. He is now protected from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft.

Power, speed, defense at Double-A
Corona is slashing .252/.327/.469 with 20 home runs and 29 steals in 104 games for Double-A Corpus Christi.
Impact
A potentially plus defensive center fielder, Corona doesn't have to clear a very high offensive bar to eventually earn significant playing time in the big leagues. His 25.9 percent strikeout rate and 70.9 percent contact rate portend mediocre batting averages in his future, but his defense should still buy him opportunities into his mid-20s.
