Lands on IL with fractured rib The Astros placed Pena on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left ribcage fracture. Impact Pena suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch in Friday's game versus the Cubs. Initial X-rays came back negative, but additional testing revealed the small fracture. There is no timetable for Pena's return, but it will surely be longer than a minimum stay on the IL. Mauricio Dubon should serve as the Astros' regular shortstop while Pena is sidelined.
