Imaging has unveiled a left slanting tension for Jeremy FoamThe ShortStop told reporters on Thursday. Chandler Rome of athletics was one of them to pass on the update. Pena had been out of the Line -up for the past four games. He was initially in the nine of Sunday before he was scratched because of the injury. Houston was swept at home by Seattle and dropped the first two games of the series against athletics.
Only a few days after GM Dana Brown said Pena’s sloping injury “Can just be a two -day thing,“Pena is now confronted with what an extensive absence could be. Although no schedule movement has been made with regard to Pena, oblique injury times are usually measured in weeks, not days. It is the second time this season that Pena has treated a left side, because he missed 27 games with a broken left rib.
It is brutal news for a Houston team that has just been lost Jordan Alvarez To an ankle blast. The Astros gave their place on top of the Al West and now threaten to completely miss the late season. They came on Thursday from the Action One match behind the Tigers for the last already Wild Card spot. Given that the season hangs on a thread, there might be some temptation to bring Pena, even if it is not 100%. However, they do that too Isaac Paredeswho was currently hurried back from a hamstring injury and used the designated Hitter spot.
The sloping injury could reduce a breakout 2025 campaign for Pena. The 28-year-old placed a healthy 135 WRC+ during cutting .304/.363/.477. He corresponded to a career high with 20 steals. Pena’s 17 home runs were short of the 22 that he hit as Rookie, but he surpassed his total from 2024 in 107 fewer record performances. It was quite the bounce back season after Pena had placed the past two seasons under the competition-average offensive songs. He was the same as his career-best strikeout percentage from 2024 at 17.1%, while pushing his hard hit rate for the first time, for the first time, per statcast. Pena was able to combine the improved plate discipline from 2024 with the power he showed in his debut -MLB season, making it one of Houston’s most powerful attacking threats.
The Astros are used to Mauricio Doubt At ShortStop for three of the four games without Pena. Carlos Correa Geted from the third base to cover the place on Wednesday. He certainly has a lot of experience playing the middle for Houston. The versatile Ramon Urias Is also an option at ShortStop, although since 2022 it has no longer appeared in a Big-League game at the position. It is difficult to introduce one of the potential replacements that corresponds to the attacking bravery of Pena, but Dubon is at least a viable defensive fit. Although Pena had an excellent defensive season and the seventh of the shortstops in outs is above average, Dubon is actually eighth on that list.
