Jeremy Pena Doing Light Baseball Activities
Jeremy Pena (ribs) said he has done light hitting, fielding and running, but he's unclear of a specific timetable for his return, according to the Houston Chronicle's Matt Kawahara. "I don't have an idea yet. But we're moving in the right direction. I'm very happy with the progress we're making, so we'll see what happens," Pena said. The Astros aren't expecting the 27-year-old to return immediately for the second half of the season this Friday, but Pena is recovering nicely from a small rib fracture and should be back early in the second half, potentially before the end of July. The Dominican infielder is having a breakout 2025 season with a .322 average (102-for-317) with 11 homers, 40 RBI, 48 runs and 15 stolen bases, and he should be stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy leagues. Mauricio Dubon will continue to start at the 6 until Pena recovers.
