The Houston Astros will be without one of their top players for the foreseeable future. Shortstop Jeremy Peña has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a small fracture in one of his ribs on the left side, the Astros announced Monday. The team will make a corresponding roster move Tuesday, before their series opener with the Colorado Rockies.

Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena explained how he plans to deal with the rib fracture that has landed him on the injured list.

Peña's rib fracture will sideline him for at least 10 days, derailing a prolific season that had him near stardom.
