It was honestly tragic when Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña went on the injured list when he did. Not only did his rib injury cost Peña an appearance in his first All-Star Game, but it robbed the Astros of one of their hottest hitters. It was not a coincidence that while Peña was out, Houston struggled to mount a consistent offense, and their lead in the AL West dwindled.
Unfortunately, Peña didn't exactly come right out of the gates and pick up where he left off when the Astros activated him from the IL.
