The Houston Astros placed shortstop Jeremy Pena and right-hander Tatsuya Imai on the injured list Monday.
Right-hander Jayden Murray was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land, while right-hander J.P France, left-hander Colton Gordon and infielder Shay Whitcomb all were recalled from Triple-A.
Pena, 28, sustained a Grade 1 hamstring strain in Saturday's 8-7 road loss to the Seattle Mariners. He is batting .256 with four doubles in 10 games this season and is a career .271 hitter with 64 home runs and 247 RBIs in 578 career games in Houston since 2022.
Imai, 27, is dealing with right arm fatigue. He's 1-0 with a 7.27 ERA in three starts for Houston after arriving from Japan this past offseason on a three-year, $54 million deal.
France, 31, had just been optioned to Sugar Land, and returns after allowing four runs on three hits and four walks in his season debut Friday against the Mariners. He is 12-9 with a 4.49 ERA in 32 appearances (28 starts) with Houston since 2023.
Gordon, 27, made 20 appearances (14 starts) for the Astros last season, going 6-4 with a 5.34 ERA. Whitcomb, 27, is batting .173 with one home run and six RBIs in 42 games with Houston over the past three seasons.
