Jeremy Pena Stats

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (thumb) took some swings in the batting cage ahead of the team's matchup against the New York Mets on Tuesday. It marked the first time he'd swung the bat since injuring his left thumb about a week ago. He went through some fielding drills on Tuesday as well. He spoke to the media after his workouts and said that everything went well. The 24-year-old doesn't have a clear timetable for a return at this moment, but it's hard to imagine he'll be out much longer, assuming he has no setbacks. The rookie has slashed .277/.333/.471 with nine home runs, six stolen bases, 27 RBI and 27 runs over 54 games this year.

Updating a previous report, Houston Astros rookie shortstop Jeremy Pena (wrist) is out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Texas Rangers after he rolled his left wrist on a diving attempt on Monday night. Fantasy managers should consider Pena day-to-day for now. The 24-year-old has been excellent filling the shoes of Carlos Correa this year, as he's slashing .277/.333/.471 with an .805 OPS, nine home runs, 27 RBI, 27 runs scored and six stolen bases in 191 at-bats in his rookie season. Aledmys Diaz will start at the 6 on Tuesday and is hitting seventh in the batting order against Rangers right-hander Dane Dunning. Diaz will be a low-upside DFS play with a batting average of just .222 and three home runs in 108 at-bats on the year.
