Jeremy Peña injury update: Astros shortstop lands on IL with rib fracture amid breakout season
The Houston Astros will be without one of their best players in the foreseeable future. Stop stop Jeremy Peña Was placed on the list of wounded 10 days with a small fracture in one of its coasts on the left side, Astros announced on Monday. The team will make a list of the corresponding list on Tuesday, before their first series of series with the Rockies of Colorado.
Peña suffered the injury when he was struck by a change of 89.0 MPH compared to Rightly Cade Horton by Chicago Cubs. He stayed in the game and even took another At-Bat before being deleted. Peña has not played since. Here is the land that caused the injury:
Peña and the Astros hoped it was a daily injury, but additional imaging revealed the fracture. Mauricio Dubón Launched at the Copstart on Saturday and Sunday and will probably continue to be the starter during the absence of Peña. Since 2021, the long -failed time for a rib fracture has been 33 days, according to the recovery dashboard of Prospectus baseball.
“Speaking to doctors, there are NFL players who play with it, but it is a pain tolerance to pain,” said Dana Brown, via MLB.com on Monday. “If he has the impression that he is going well after a week, we will start a baseball activity. We can give him things to do, and he could be able to play it while he heals.
“This is not one of those things where you have to be sidelined all the time. Once inflammation has been lowered, it could feel good enough to swing a bat. It is more how much can tolerate, which means that it could come back shortly after 10 days. This is why it is traveling, to get treatment and perhaps, potentially come back as soon as it can.”
This was a season in small groups for Peña, 27, who strikes .322 / .378 / .489 with 11 circuits and 15 seasons in 82 games. His war 4.6 is already approaching his career (5.0 war in 2022) and is the second best among all players, strikers and launchers, behind the war of 5.9 from Aaron Judge.
Astros are “always interested” by an extension of Jeremy Peña, so what could a long -term contract look like?

The astros were Slugger Yordan Alvarez much of the season. He has not played since May 2 due to an injury in hand, although he increases his rehabilitation work this week. However, Astros are now declining their greatest threat of power in Alvarez and their best versatile player in Peña.
Despite Alvarez’s injury (and others), the Astros come into play on Monday with a 50-34 file and a 6 ½ year advance in the Al West. Houston has won the last four and seven titles of the last eight divisions and is well positioned to redo it this year.
Peña is very likely to be an All-Star next month even if He did not progress towards phase 2 of the fans’ vote. Either Jacob Wilson (athletics) or Bobby Witt Jr. (Kansas City Royals) will start to stop for the American League.
