Jeremy Pena on the Astros Opening Day Roster
Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (finger) is on the team's Opening Day roster, according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic. Pena fractured the tip of his finger during an exhibition game with the Dominican Republic in a tune-up for the World Baseball Classic, but the 28-year-old has recovered nicely and was able to play in the team's exhibition game on Tuesday. He should be in the Opening Day lineup on Thursday against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels. Pena's finger injury may hinder him early on at the plate, but fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried. He was a first-time All-Star in 2025 in his fourth big-league season, slashing .304/.363/.477 with an .840 OPS, 17 home runs, 62 RBI, 68 runs scored, and 20 stolen bases in 125 games played. Pena has 30-30 upside in Houston if everything falls into place, but fantasy managers should consider him a low-end shortstop in 12-team leagues to begin 2026.
