Peña’s Return Could Turn Astros’ Season | Houston Astros News

Jeremy Peña took a blistering fastball to the hand but walked away with a clean MRI — no structural damage. He’s already back practicing defensively, and the Astros hope he’ll return as early as Saturday. The real concern? His bat — but his presence is crucial; they’ve been losing ground lately without him in the lineup. To fill the void, they brought up Raynel Delgado, though it means trading Nelson Velázquez’s right-handed power. With lineup chaos this season, Peña’s quick return would be a huge boost — and everyone’s hoping he avoids the injured list entirely.
