Availability
Jeremy Pena said his “goal is to try to be ready by Opening Day.”
Fantasy Impact
Pena fractured the tip of his finger earlier this week. “I don’t know how it’s going to heal, I don’t know what the process is going to be like, but the goal is always to try to join the team for Opening Day," he said. This will remain a situation to monitor in the coming weeks.
Pena (finger) was injured during Wednesday's World Baseball Classic exhibition game against Detroit. A fracture was diagnosed Thursday in the tip of his right ring finger.
Fantasy Impact
The injury will likely prevent him from participating in the WBC. A reevaluation in two weeks will determine Pena's availability for Opening Day. Nick Allen would step in as Houston's starting shortstop if Pena misses the beginning of the regular season.
Pena (finger) was struck on his right ring finger by a grounder during Wednesday's World Baseball Classic exhibition game against Detroit. The impact also caused an injury to his fingernail.

X-rays were performed on the finger. A hand specialist will examine the imaging on Thursday. Manager Joe Espada said Pena was unconcerned about the injury and wanted to stay in the game. Houston is expected to provide additional information on Pena's status later Thursday.
Jeremy Pena has been ruled out for the first round of the World Baseball Classic due to a fractured finger.
Fantasy Impact
Pena suffered a small fracture in one of his fingers. He'll miss at least the first round of the WBC depending on his recovery timeline.
Jeremy Pena and the Houston Astros have avoided arbitration. Pena will make $9.475 million in 2026 with the potential of an additional $50K if he lands a spot on the All-Star team.
Fantasy Impact
Pena enjoyed his best season at the plate last season, slashing .304/.363/.477 with the Astros in 125 games. He earned his first All-Star Game appearance last season and also finished 10th in the AL MVP race. Pena is a career .271 hitter with 64 home runs and 64 stolen bases in four seasons with Houston. He'll be the starting shortstop and should lead off again for the Astros in 2026.
