Jeremy Peña: Astros' Secret Weapon

Jeremy Peña is quietly transforming the Houston Astros into a playoff contender — and he’s doing it while battling injuries. Since returning from a six-week absence, Peña has exploded offensively, slashing .333 with 3 homers and a stellar OPS of .985 over his last 15 games. His presence has been a game-changer: the Astros are 12-9 in his 21 starts this season and boast an 85-70 record with him in the lineup — compared to just 33-42 without him. Over the past 18 months, Peña has delivered 7.1 WAR, 20 homers, 74 RBIs, and 25 steals, while also saving 7 defensive runs. Even with a knee injury sidelining him again, his impact is undeniable — and keeping him healthy is now the Astros’ top priority.
