Jeremy Pena Dealing With Thumb Injury
Jeremy Pena's left thumb injury. The Astros will know more on Wednesday morning because his testing was pushed back due to a delayed flight. Fantasy managers should plan on Pena being unavailable on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers, but it sounds like he avoided a serious injury that would knock him out for an extended period of time. Veteran Aledmys Diaz filled in at the 6 for Pena on Tuesday against Texas. The 24-year-old is in the running for American League Rookie of the Year so far. He's hitting a strong .277/.333/.471 with an .805 OPS, nine home runs, 27 RBI, 27 runs scored and six stolen bases in his first 191 major league at-bats.
