Pena is batting .274 with a .790 OPS, 20 home runs, 12 stolen bases, 51 RBI, 77 runs scored, 19 doubles and two triples over 109 contests.

Back in starting lineup Pena (wrist) is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff for Thursday night's matchup against the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pena was unable to start Wednesday's contest against the Mariners as a result of wrist injury suffered after being hit by a pitch Tuesday night. The infielder was able to enter as a pinch runner and swipe a bag in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to Seattle, and he will now return to the lineup one day later. Pena is batting .367 with three home runs, four RBI, seven runs scored and two stolen bases over 30 at-bats since Sept. 15.

Pena would manage to steal a base, his 11th theft this season and his second in his last two games. It remains to be seen whether Pena will be available in an expanded capacity in Thursday's series opener against the A's.

Exits after HBP Pena was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mariners after getting hit on the wrist by a pitch, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pena ran the bases for himself after taking a 96.4-mph sinker off his right wrist in the eighth inning, but he was replaced at shortstop when the Astros' defense took the field in the bottom of the frame. He'll likely undergo X-rays to determine whether he suffered a fracture, and more information on his health may be available after the game.
