Houston’s not moving him, and they’re not about to. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Peña's Hot Streak Earns AL Player of the Week | Houston Astros News

Jeremy Peña just became the first Houston Astro infielder to win AL Player of the Week since Alex Bregman in 2024, thanks to an insane five-homer, six-game tear that lifted the Astros to a 5-1 record. He’s now hitting .319 with a .373 OBP and .504 SLG, scoring 10 runs and driving in 8 — including three straight games with 3 hits and his second multi-homer game of the year. Despite missing time with injuries earlier this season, Peña’s surge has the Astros in contention, though they’ve been stung by pitching woes lately. Meanwhile, former Astro Lance McCullers Jr. was DFA’d by the Brewers after just two games — a quick exit for the pitcher.

Bryan King's Fall From Reliever Reliability | Houston Astros News

Bryan King’s 2026 season took a sharp nosedive after a promising start, as the Astros reliever transitioned from a reliable setup man to a struggling pitcher whose numbers tell a troubling story — from a 2.03 ERA early on to a brutal 15.00 ERA in his last five outings, with a blown save and five straight appearances allowing at least one run.

Red Sox Target Shortstop Before Deadline | Houston Astros News

Boston Red Sox are heating up before the August 3rd deadline, already adding power-hitting Curtis Mead and eyeing more talent—especially at shortstop, where injuries to Trevor Story and Marcelo Mayer leave Andruw Monasterio as the only option. With a 54-50 record and four games over .500, the Sox are competitive but need a big bat to lock down playoff contention. Rumors swirl around Jeremy Peña and Zach Neto, though Peña seems unlikely, leaving the front office to focus elsewhere. Keep watching—this could be a pivotal week for Boston’s postseason push.
