Jeremy Pena Out Again on Wednesday
Jeremy Pena (oblique) is out of the lineup on Wednesday against Athletics right-hander Luis Severino. This will be the third straight game off for Pena, who is day-to-day with soreness in his left oblique. It's unfortunate timing for Houston, which has lost four in a row and fallen to one game out of a wild-card spot as the regular season nears an end. Pena, one of the Astros' most valuable players, has slashed an excellent .304/.363/.477 with 17 homers, 62 RBI, 68 runs scored, and 20 stolen bases in 543 plate appearances this season. Carlos Correa will fill in for Pena at short and hit third on Wednesday, while Ramon Urias will play third base and bat ninth.
