Jeremy Pena Good To Go To Return To Lineup

Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker said that shortstop Jeremy Pena (hamstring) is good to go to return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Jake Bird. Pena suffered from cramping in his hamstring on Saturday and didn't play on Sunday, but he's back in there for fantasy managers after the team had an off day on Monday. Fantasy managers are going to want to get Pena back in their starting lineups, especially for a series at hitter-friendly Coors Field this week. The 25-year-old has played in only seven games in the month of July and is hitting 5-for-27 (.185) with a homer, three RBI and three runs scored, so hopefully a trip to Coors Field will get him right offensively.

Jeremy Pena Out Of The Lineup Sunday

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (hamstring) is out of Sunday's lineup against the Angels. The 25-year-old left Saturday's game due to injury, with skipper Dusty Baker confirming a hamstring issue. Pena, hitting .241 with 10 homers, 33 RBI, 43 runs, and eight stolen bases this season, is hoping to avoid a trip to the IL. But in the meantime, Grae Kessinger will fill the void and face Angels pitcher Tyler Anderson for the first time in his career.

Jeremy Pena Suffers Hamstring Injury On Saturday

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (hamstring) came out of Saturday's eventual 13-12 defeat to the Los Angeles Angels due to a right hamstring injury. The 25-year-old was checked by a trainer during his 10th-inning at-bat, but was able to finish it, striking out. Pena was then spelled defensively at short in the next frame by Grae Kessinger, who ended up committing a key fielding mistake which resulted in a Halos walk-off triumph. Pena should be deemed day-to-day with Astros skipper Dusty Baker hopeful he was forced from this one with cramps. With an off day on Monday, the speedy Pena could possibly be out of Sunday's lineup for the series finale in Anaheim. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on his status for that one.

Jeremy Pena Exits On Saturday Due To Injury

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (undisclosed) was injured in Saturday's loss to the Angels. He played nearly the entire game, accruing one hit in six at-bats while striking out twice. However, Pena was seemingly bothered by something, possibly a leg issue, during his last plate appearance in the top of the 10th inning. The 28-year-old has been banged up a few times this season, so if anything, he may miss a game or two. At any rate, there should be an update on Pena's condition ahead of Sunday's series finale with LA.

Jeremy Pena Returns To Face Rockies

As expected, Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (neck) is back in the team's starting lineup against right-hander Chase Anderson and the visiting Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. Pena is starting at shortstop and is batting eighth in the lineup. The 25-year-old developed stiffness in his neck at the end of last week and missed five straight games, but he's back in there now to close out the first half of the 2023 season. He'll be looking to extend his hitting streak to six games now that he's back. During his five-game streak, Pena has gone 6-for-23 (.261) with a home run, three RBI and four runs scored. Fantasy managers will want to get the second-year shortstop back in their starting lineups in season-long leagues in a solid matchup.

Jeremy Pena Expected To Return Wednesday

Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker said that shortstop Jeremy Pena (neck) should be able to return to the starting lineup on Wednesday against the visiting Colorado Rockies. Pena missed his fifth straight game on the Fourth of July on Tuesday while dealing with neck stiffness, but it hasn't been a serious issue all along. Mauricio Dubon continues to see regular playing time in Houston's lineup between injuries to Pena and second baseman Jose Altuve (undisclosed). Fantasy managers should have Pena available again on Wednesday, when he'll be looking to extend his current hitting streak to a modest six games. During his five-game streak, he's gone 6-for-23 (.261) with a homer, three RBI and four runs scored.

Jeremy Pena Still Absent Tuesday

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (neck) remains out of the lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Colorado Rockies. Pena will miss his fifth straight game due to neck tightness that he developed late last week. At this point, an injured-list stint heading into next week's All-Star break wouldn't be a big surprise. Mauricio Dubon will man the 6 yet again on Tuesday and hit second against Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland. The good news is that the 25-year-old Pena was seen fielding ground balls on Monday, so perhaps he's turning a corner with his injury. Pena remains day-to-day for now. He's currently sporting a .247/.302/.399 slash line on the season with nine home runs, 16 doubles, a triple, 30 RBI, eight stolen bases and 40 runs scored in 76 games in his second major-league season.

Jeremy Pena Still Out Monday

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (neck) remains out of the starting lineup on Monday against the division-rival Texas Rangers. Mauricio Dubon will get the start at the 6 and hit second in the batting order against Rangers left-hander Martin Perez. Pena has now missed the last four games due to neck tightness, and if he's unable to return soon, the Astros are going to have to consider putting him on the injured list heading into the All-Star break. Before waking up with a tight neck at the end of last week, Pena was on a modest five-game hitting streak, going 6-for-23 (.261) with a homer, three RBI and four runs scored. The 25-year-old Dominican is batting .247 (73-for-296) overall with nine homers, 30 RBI, eight steals and 40 runs on the year.

Jeremy Pena Remains Out On Sunday

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (neck) is absent from the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Texas Rangers. Pena is missing his third straight contest while dealing with neck stiffness. Mauricio Dubon is starting at shortstop and batting fifth against Andrew Heaney. Fantasy managers should still consider Pena day-to-day.
