Notes
Jeremy Peña is back in the Astros lineup Monday night after missing time with a hamstring injury, giving Houston a major boost after Jose Altuve landed on the injured list over the weekend with a Grade 2 oblique strain. The Astros open a three-game series in Minnesota looking to stabilize a season that has been heavily impacted by injuries, with Peña’s return arriving at a critical moment for the lineup.
