Jeremy Peña to Begin Rehab Assignment for Rib Fracture

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña is set to begin a rehabilitation assignment at Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday night. Peña has been sidelined since June 27 due to a small rib fracture sustained after being hit by a pitch. The 27-year-old, who has a .322 batting average with 11 homers and 40 RBIs in 82 games this season, recently faced live pitching and worked out with the team as he progresses toward his return.
