Peña was placed on the injured list retroactive to June 28 with a fractured rib before Monday’s game, and it’s a positive development that he could resume activities only a week later. The 27-year-old will almost assuredly be out through the All-Star break, but a return shortly after that break can’t be ruled out just yet.

Walter was better than the line suggests; he gave up eight hits, but just two of his 19 balls in play had xBAs over .500. The big blow, a two-run homer by Thairo Estrada, left the bat at all of 96 mph and wouldn’t have carried nearly as far anywhere else. Walter walked none and struck out three. He should be a decent option in mixed leagues at home against the Guardians next week.

The big one was a two-run triple that tied the game in the seventh. In truth, though, that was just an 80-mph fly that should have been caught by either the left fielder or the center fielder. Brenton Doyle, though, appeared to be worried about the possibility of a collision and came up short on a diving attempt. Smith, who we promise actually does hit the ball hard quite often, also had a 70-mph double and an 81-mph single in this one. His average is all of the way up to .291.

McCormick has been out since the start of June with his oblique strain. The 30-year-old was not getting consistent playing time prior to the injury, and it seems unlikely that role will change even with the gluttony of injuries Houston has dealt with that could have opened up the depth chart. He should be able to come off the IL near the All-Star break if there are no setbacks.

Bichette will miss his fourth straight game while battling right knee discomfort. Andres Gimenez is also out of the lineup, so the Blue Jays will deploy a double-play partnership of Ernie Clement at shortstop and Leo Jimenez at second.

Tovar, 23, has been able to take batting practice and off the tee in the past week, but being able able to run the bases is a big step Rockies manager Warren Sheffler told reporters that Tovar is close to having a rehab assignment, so there’s a chance we could see him back in the lineup for Colorado not long after the All-Star break.

It’s just a routine day off for the veteran, who hit .269 in 24 games in June with two home runs, 11 runs scored, and 10 RBI. He will be replaced at shortstop by Brooks Lee today as Lee continues to play every day by moving all around the infield.
