Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Jeremy Peña, 28-year-old Astros shortstop, has been reinstated from the 10-day IL after recovering from a Grade 1 right hamstring strain and neck soreness sustained during a collision in a rehab game. He completed his minor-league rehab assignment and is expected to resume his role as Houston's everyday shortstop and leadoff hitter. Peña was a first-time All-Star in 2025 with a .304/.363/.477 slash line, 17 HRs, 62 RBIs, and 20 stolen bases. His return is timely as the Astros deal with multiple injuries, including season-ending injury to Carlos Correa and recent oblique strain to Jose Altuve.
