Jeremy Pena powers up, Astros fall short

Jeremy Pena had a productive day at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, one run scored, one RBI, and a stolen base in the Astros' 8-2 loss to the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance slightly boosts his season batting average and adds to his modest home run and RBI totals. Pena's ability to combine power and speed in a single game highlights his potential value in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories that reward a balanced offensive profile. However, his overall impact remains limited by a relatively low walk rate and an average that, while solid, doesn't make him a standout in any particular offensive category. Fantasy managers should view Pena as a useful, if not essential, middle infield option, especially in formats that value stolen bases and extra-base hits.
