Jeremy Peña was placed on the injured list due to a fractured rib, removing the Astros' most valuable player for a minimum of 10 days. The team's general manager, Dana Brown, described the injury as a 'pain tolerance thing' without a specific return date. While there is inflammation at the fracture site, Peña may return 'soon after the 10 days' if he can manage the discomfort. The Astros will likely shift utilityman Mauricio Dubón to shortstop in Peña's absence and could consider rookie Brice Matthews for the position.
