At just $3,100, Jeremy Pena made Morgan’s core plays thanks to a resurgent bat atop Houston’s lineup. Pena already has seven doubles, six steals, and five homers, and for the first time carries an OPS north of .800 against right-handers. Rookie Chase Petty, rushed into the rotation after Hunter Greene hit the IL, surrendered nine runs in 2.1 innings during his debut, and Morgan doubts the youngster will suddenly figure it out in Minute Maid Park. The matchup plus new leadoff role give Pena both floor and ceiling.
