Jeremy Peña has embarked on his rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land, marking his return to action after suffering a fractured rib in late June. In his first game, Peña struggled at the plate, going 0-for-2 with two strikeouts but did draw a walk and was hit by a pitch, ultimately scoring a run in the game against Tacoma. Despite the team's 8-5 defeat, Peña's presence was notable, as he looks to regain his form and return to the Houston Astros lineup.

Alongside Peña, Astros reliever Shawn Dubin also began his rehab assignment and pitched two-thirds of an inning, allowing one run on one hit. Peña's at-bats showed promise, particularly in the sixth inning when he was hit by a fastball, setting the stage for a scoring opportunity. He later drew a walk in the seventh, demonstrating his ability to contribute even while still finding his rhythm at the plate.
