- Friday marked Peña’s first game back from a five-week injured list stint for a rib fracture since June 27.
- He collected three of Houston’s seven hits in the game and entered the contest with a .322 batting average through 83 games.
- Manager Joe Espada said Peña is under evaluation and that no decision has been made on his availability for Saturday’s matchup.
