HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña has a fractured rib and will be placed on the 10-day injured list.
The team revealed the extent of the injury Monday, saying it was a small fracture in Peña’s left rib cage. The IL move will be retroactive to Saturday.
Peña was hit in the ribs by a pitch from Chicago Cubs rookie right-hander Cade Horton in the second inning of the Astros’ 7-4 victory on Friday.
He didn’t leave the game until the fifth, and the team said X-rays taken that night didn’t reveal the fracture. An MRI and CT scan on Sunday revealed the fracture, according to the team.
The 27-year-old Pena is having a breakout season, ranking fourth in the major leagues with a .322 batting average. He hit .361 in June.
Pena will be with the team on a six-game road trip that starts Tuesday in Colorado, according to the Astros. A corresponding roster move will be made Tuesday, the team said.
