    Houston Astros SS Jeremy Pena showed up to Daikin Park today and reported some “left leg discomfort” according to manager Joe Espada. As a result, Pena was kept out of tonight’s 5-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins.

    After the game, Espada announced Pena would be placed on the 10-day IL with a “mild calf strain”. Espada believes the injury to be minor and that it would only require a “minimum stint”.
