Jeremy Pena Back to Full Health, Ready to Build on Encouraging 2025
Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena missed time in 2025 due to both rib and oblique issues. However, around the injuries, the 28-year-old elevated his game to a new level. Across 543 plate appearances, Pena posted a .304/.363/.477 slash line with 17 home runs, 62 RBI, 68 runs scored, and 20 stolen bases. He boosted his hard-hit rate to a career-best 42.9% and was on pace to steal 25 bases over 155 games. Heading into 2026, Pena should be locked in to an everyday role at the top of the Astros lineup. While his batting average may regress closer to his career mark of .271, Pena should rack up counting stats and has a chance to provide average to above-average production across all five traditional rotisserie scoring categories. He profiles as a top-10 fantasy shortstop in 2026, and with a current average draft position of pick 93, Pena could be a value selection for fantasy managers.
