He remained in the game for three innings until being removed for a pinch hitter. Imaging done Friday did not reveal a fracture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is getting treatment right now. He\u2019s gonna move around, probably hit off the tee,\u201d Espada said. \u201cI\u2019m going to do everything I can to keep him away from today\u2019s game, just to give him a full off day, but he\u2019s actually feeling pretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pe\u00f1a played in the Astros\u2019 first 82 games of the season.<\/p>\n<p>The 2022 ALCS and World Series MVP is enjoying the best year of his career, batting .322 with 11 home runs and 40 RBIs while serving as the leadoff hitter.
