"I didn't tell anybody, which I probably should have. I woke up today feeling pretty good, went into the game feeling really good, and then it tightened up on me."
"Pena downplayed the severity of his injury and felt his removal was just a precaution, though we'll have a better understanding...after we get some imaging done."
"Injuries have already been a factor for Pena in 2026, as he sustained a small fracture in the tip of his right ring finger while playing in an exhibition game."
"The Astros are deep enough in the infield to get by if Pena only misses a bit of time, or has a minimal 10-day IL stint."
The Houston Astros suffered an 8-7 loss to the Mariners, with shortstop Jeremy Pena leaving the game due to posterior knee tightness. Pena first felt discomfort on Friday but did not inform the training staff. He experienced increased tightness while running the bases on Saturday and was removed as a precaution. Pena previously dealt with a finger injury but avoided the injured list. The Astros lack an off-day until April 23, complicating recovery options for Pena, though they have depth in the infield.
