X-rays come back negative for Jeremy Peña (hand)

Jeremy Peña

HOU Shortstop #3

Player Stats

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 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.
Raynel Delgado

HOU Shortstop #72

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.

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.
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.
Jeremy Peña

HOU Shortstop #3

Jeremy Peña hit his second career grand slam Monday against the Marlins.

Peña’s slam off Janson Junk gave the Astros a 5-2 in the second, and Yordan Alvarez made it back-to-back shots afterwards. Peña’s homer was his seventh in 54 games during an injury-plagued season. He was back in the lineup tonight after leaving Saturday and missing Sunday’s game due to a hamstring cramp.
Jeremy Peña

HOU Shortstop #3

Jeremy Peña (hamstring) is in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Marlins.

Peña is back at shortstop and hitting leadoff following a brief one-game absence due to a right hamstring cramp. The 28-year-old has been limited to just 53 games this season due to an avalanche of injuries, so he was probably overdue to catch a break. Still, fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his health for the remainder of the week.

Xavier Edwards was diagnosed with left thumb and elbow discomfort after being removed from Sunday’s battle against the Nationals.

Edwards sustained the injuries when colliding with the shoulder of Jorbit Vivas as he slid into second base and Edwards attempted to place a tag on him. He’s currently undergoing further evaluation. The Marlins should have a better idea on his status once he’s fully checked out.

Angels recalled LHP Mitch Farris from Triple-A Salt Lake.

It’s unclear if Farris will work out of the Angels’ bullpen initially, or if he’ll potentially replace the injured George Klassen (back) in the club’s starting rotation. The 25-year-old left-hander has posted a 4.18 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and a 49/23 K/BB ratio across 47 1/3 innings in 26 appearances on the season.

Mariners placed RHP Emerson Hancock on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to August 29, with a left adductor strain.

Hancock suffered the injury during Friday’s start against the Blue Jays. He’s going to miss at least a couple of weeks. It’s unclear if the Mariners will continue to operate with a six-man rotation in his absence, or if they’ll revert to a traditional five-man alignment.
