MLB:
What scheduling or the rust factor for Peña’s heater impact his projection in this first start back from injury lightening?
Qwiket AI:
Peña’s sustained contact against both arms suggests a stable baseline, but the rust factor for Javier’s return could influence how aggressively Peña attacks the ball early. If Peña hits early, it validates a hopeful trend and supports Houston’s broader hitting strategy; if not, Peña still offers a floor with hit potential and limited risk in a low-scoring game.
