Overview

• Houston announced Sunday that shortstop Jeremy Peña was a late scratch with left oblique soreness before the game against Seattle.
• Mauricio Dubón started at shortstop in Peña’s place as Jesús Sánchez shifted to left field and rookie Zach Cole entered the lineup in right.
• The Astros provided no timetable for Peña’s return and will use Monday’s off day to reassess his condition.
• A three-game sweep by the Mariners left Houston outside the AL playoff field with six road games remaining against the A’s and Angels.
• Peña has delivered a breakout season (.304/.363/.477) after a midyear rib fracture, while Houston is also without Yordan Alvarez (ankle) and closer Josh Hader (shoulder).
