for the WBC unclear
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) --- The Houston Astros sent All-Star shortstop
Jeremy Pea to see a hand specialist on Thursday for further examination of an
injury to his right ring finger that has made his immediate availability for
the World Baseball Classic unclear.
Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters at the team's spring training complex
that Pea had some damage to the nail area on the finger after fielding a hard
groundball for the Dominican Republic national team during an exhibition game
on Wednesday. Pea was pulled after that.
The Dominican Republic plays its first game of the WBC on Friday in Miami
against Nicaragua.
The 28-year-old Pea is coming off a career-best season in 2025, when he made
his first All-Star team and batted .304 with an .840 OPS and 20 stolen bases.
