Astros SS Jeremy Peña Has Rib Fracture and Is Headed to 10-Day Injured List
Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña has a fractured rib and will be placed on the 10-day injured list.
The team revealed the extent of the injury Monday, saying it was a small fracture in Peña's left rib cage. The IL move will be retroactive to Saturday.
Peña was hit in the ribs by a pitch from Chicago Cubs rookie right-hander Cade Horton in the second inning of the Astros' 7-4 victory on Friday.
He didn't leave the game until the fifth, and the team said X-rays taken that night didn't reveal the fracture. An MRI and CT scan on Sunday revealed the fracture, according to the team.
The 27-year-old Peña is having a breakout season, ranking fourth in the major leagues with a .322 batting average. He hit .361 in June.
Peña will be with the team on a six-game road trip that starts Tuesday in Colorado, according to the Astros. A corresponding roster move will be made Tuesday, the team said.

Dodgers Manager Expects Rookie Backstop To Be 'Superstar' In MLB
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Los Angeles Dodgers have stars littered across the diamond and hold Major League Baseball's best record entering Monday. But even with the current stars at Chavez Ravine, the future looks bright for the young bucks moving through the Dodgers system. CLEVELAND, OHIO - MAY 27: Dalton Rushing #68 of the Los Angeles Dodgers waits for a pitch in the fourth inning during a game against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field on May 27, 2025... CLEVELAND, OHIO - MAY 27: Dalton Rushing #68 of the Los Angeles Dodgers waits for a pitch in the fourth inning during a game against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field on May 27, 2025 in Cleveland, Ohio. More Photo byDodgers skipper Dave Roberts believes that rookie catcher Dalton Rushing will be a 'superstar' in Major League Baseball, according to Gabe Smallson of Dodgers Nation. "He feels that he's going to be a superstar," Roberts said about Rushing. "I love him in the box. He's very confident. He controls the hitting zone, and he's going to be a good one for a long time." Rushing has been below league average at the plate for the Dodgers this season, but he has only played in 18 games in the big leagues and has plenty of time for his young career to flourish. Rushing is batting .212 in 52 at-bats for the Dodgers this season. Rushing was the Dodgers' top prospect last year, according to MLB Pipeline but is stuck behind catcher Will Smith, who is batting .318 with 10 home runs so far this year. Entering Monday, Smith is the National League leader in batting average. The future is cloudy for Rushing as he will have to break through the barrier Smith has set up around the catching position for the Dodgers, or the Dodgers will have to use him as an asset in a trade to bolster their star-studded roster even more. Rushing has a bright future in the eyes of Roberts, but with Smith signed through 2033, it is hard to believe Rushing's future is in Los Angeles.
