Jeremy Pena Reinstated and Starting on Friday
Jeremy Pena (ribs) from the 10-day injured list before Friday's series opener on the road against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, according to MLB.com's Brian McTaggart. Pena will return to shortstop and will bat leadoff against Red Sox right-hander Cooper Criswell, who will be making his first start of the year. The 27-year-old will be returning to Houston's starting lineup for the first time since June 27. The Astros reacquired former shortstop Carlos Correa from the Minnesota Twins at Thursday's trade deadline, but Pena will remain at short and Correa will slide over to third base. Pena was having a career year before his injury, hitting .322/.378/.489 with 11 home runs, 40 RBI, 48 runs and 15 steals in 317 at-bats, so fantasy managers will want to get him back into their starting lineups immediately this weekend.
