Jeremy Pena Still Out on Tuesday
Jeremy Pena (oblique) remains on the bench for Tuesday's contest on the road in Sacramento against the Athletics. Mauricio Dubon will make the start at the 6 and will hit ninth against A's left-hander Jeffrey Springs. Pena was scratched from the lineup in Sunday's series finale against the Seattle Mariners with left-oblique soreness and is not feeling good enough to play in the series opener against the A's on Tuesday despite having a day off on Monday. The Astros are in must-win mode as they try to latch on to the final wild-card spot in the American League in the final week of the regular season, but they might have to do it without one of their best players. The 28-year-old should be considered day-to-day. Check back to see if he's active on Wednesday. Dubon should be avoided as a DFS sleeper on Tuesday at the bottom of Houston's batting order.
