SEATTLE — At the tail-end of their calamitous 10-game road trip, the Houston Astros placed shortstop Jeremy Peña and right-hander Tatsuya Imai on the injured list on Monday, dealing more blows to a team that is struggling to stay afloat.Peña suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain, according to the team, while Imai is sidelined with what the club described as right arm fatigue. Imai flew back to Houston on Saturday to be evaluated by team doctors. That night, Peña exited the Astros’ 8-7 loss against the Seattle Mariners with what the team described at the time as right posterior knee tightness. Peña underwent imaging on Sunday afternoon in Seattle to determine the extent of his injury.Advertisement
