The Houston Astros dropped 4-2 to the Miami Marlins on Sunday, as the team enters its final week of spring training. Infielding prospect Jeremy Pena brought in the only runs of the game with a two-run shot in the top of the 5th inning that brought in Steven Souza Jr.
As one of the few prospects waiting on an assignment, we can expect Pena to start 2021 in the minor leagues. While not hitting the 40-man roster just yet, the right-hander only has three hits this spring that includes two long balls. Although not having the most impactful spring through 18 at bats, Pena is projected to make the big leagues in 2021 by MLB Pipeline.
