Peña Misses Second Straight Game With Right Hand Contusion
Houston's starting shortstop Jeremy Peña remains sidelined Friday, marking back-to-back absences due to a hand injury.
Jeremy Peña exited a recent game against the Angels with a right hand contusion and has now been kept out of the Astros lineup for two straight games. The multi-game absence elevates concern beyond a minor day-to-day issue. Peña is a key offensive and defensive contributor at shortstop for Houston. His status should be monitored closely heading into upcoming games.
