Astros option Raynel Delgado to Triple-A

Raynel Delgado

HOU Shortstop #72

Player Stats

Astros optioned INF Raynel Delgado to Triple-A Sugar Land.

Delgado was brought up over the weekend as extra insurance in case Jeremy Peña (hand) required a trip to the injured list. This move feels like a pretty clear indication that he’ll be ready for Tuesday’s series opener against the Yankees.

Jeremy Peña hit a solo homer to help the Astros to a 6-3 win over the Mets on Sunday.

Peña took Zac Thornton deep in the first inning for his 17th homer of the campaign. He added a single while helping build their lead in the American League West. The 28-year-old has struggled to hit for average in August with a .191 average coming into Sunday, but this was his fifth homer of the month.

HOU Shortstop #3

Jeremy Peña is in Friday’s lineup after getting hit in the hand by a pitch Thursday.

Peña took a Gerrit Cole pitch off the knuckles, but he remained in and finished the game against the Yankees.
Jeremy Peña

HOU Shortstop #3

X-rays on the injured hand of Astros’ shortstop Jeremy Peña came back negative for any fractures on Thursday.

Astros’ fans and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. Peña was hit on the knuckles of both his pinkie and ring finger on his left hand with a 96-mph fastball from Gerrit Cole. While he’s dealing with a bit of swelling and soreness, he shouldn’t require any sort of extended absence from the lineup. He’s considered day-to-day.

HOU Shortstop #3

Jeremy Peña is starting at shortstop and leading off Saturday against the A’s.

Peña missed two starts after leaving Wednesday’s game with a hand injury suffered on a HBP.
Jeremy Peña

HOU Shortstop #3

Jeremy Peña (hand) is not in the Astros’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Athletics.

It’s the second straight game that the 28-year-old shortstop has missed after being struck by a 100-mph sinker from Walbert Ureña on Wednesday. While he has reported improvement and is able to field his position defensively without issue,
Peña isn’t quite comfortable swinging the bat just yet. He could be available off the bench on Friday and is expected to return to the lineup before the weekend is through.
Raynel Delgado

HOU Shortstop #72

Astros recalled INF Raynel Delgado from Triple-A Sugar Land.

With Jeremy Pena dealing with a hand injury, Delgado will provide some extra infield depth for at least a day or two. The 26-year-old has hit .273 (9-for-33) with one home run in 17 games with the big league club this season. Nelson Velázquez was designated for assignment in a corresponding move on Thursday.
Jeremy Peña

HOU Shortstop #3

Jeremy Peña (hand) was held out of the Astros’ starting lineup for Thursday’s ballgame against the Angels.

Peña was pulled from Wednesday’s game in the first inning after being struck in the hand by a 100-mph sinker from Angels’ right-hander Walbert Ureña. Fortunately, he was able to avoid any structural damage and is only dealing with a bit of pain and swelling. He’s considered day-to-day. Nick Allen will start in his place at shortstop on Thursday night and will bat eighth against Halos’ right-hander Grayson Rodriguez.
Jeremy Peña

HOU Shortstop #3

Jeremy Peña was removed from Wednesday’s game against the Angels with a right hand contusion.

It’s a bit unclear whether Peña underwent X-rays already, but he appears to have avoided serious injury after taking a 100-mph sinker from Angels starter Walbert Ureña off his right hand in the first inning. The 28-year-old shortstop came into this contest hitting .278 (32-for-115) with eight homers and 18 RBI in 27 games since last month’s All-Star break. There should be some additional clarity on his status leading into Thursday’s series finale.
Jeremy Peña

HOU Shortstop #3

Jeremy Peña was removed from Wednesday’s game against the Angels after being hit by a pitch on the right hand.

Peña took a 100 mph sinker from Angels starter Walbert Ureña off his right hand in the first inning, but managed to remain in the contest initially. He was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the third inning. The 28-year-old shortstop has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball during the second half. He’ll presumably head for imaging to determine whether he suffered any fractures. There should be an update on his status following the contest.
Jeremy Peña

HOU Shortstop #3

Jeremy Peña went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs against the White Sox on Sunday.

Peña now has 11 home runs on the season. He hit a pair of solo shots off Erick Fedde with one coming in the first inning and the other coming in the third inning. Peña has been on a power surge lately and now has five home runs in his last six games. He’s hitting .319 with an .877 OPS and 30 RBI.

Marlins placed INF Xavier Edwards on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb sprain.

Edwards left Sunday’s game after colliding into Jorbit Vivas’ shoulder when he was sliding into second. He’ll now be out for at least the next 10 days, but the Marlins have not given an exact timeline for his return as of Monday afternoon. They remain just 3.5 games out of the playoffs, so we don’t believe Edwards is at risk of being shut down just yet.

Curtis Mead (wrist) played catch before Monday’s game.

Mead no longer has a cast on his left wrist after fracturing it back on July 27th. It’s nice to see him playing catch without the cast on his glove hand, but we’ll need to see him hit before we have a better sense of exactly when he’s going to return to Boston’s lineup.

Red Sox placed 1B Willson Contreras on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

According to the Boston Globe’s Tim Healey, Contreras has been dealing with a hamstring issue for about a month. Between that and getting hit in the head against the Dodgers on August 1st, Contreras has slashed 217/.330/.386 since then. Perhaps a two-week reset will help the first baseman recapture some of his previous form before the end of the season.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the White Sox are acquiring outfielder Tommy Pham from the Phillies.

Since Pham is not on the 40-man roster, he is eligible to be traded despite the fact that the trade deadline has passed. Pham is expected to join the White Sox when rosters expand on Tuesday. He was 0-for-13 in his brief stint with the Mets earlier this season, and hit .245/.330/.370 in 120 plate appearances for the Pirates last year.

The left-hander has a 3.64 ERA in 29 2/3 innings with the White Sox this season and has really struggled in his last two outings, allowing five runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. Perhaps he had other, more important things on his mind. He’ll come back to a middle relief role for the White Sox.
