How Watson's greatness creates unique challenge for Texans

The Houston Texans have a lot of new faces on the team and Bill O'Brien seems to be focusing on building the team around the strength of the offense.

Houston's defense has been the foundation of the squad for many years, but it looks like the Texans have changed their philosophy with the addition of a superstar QB.

ESPN 97.5's Charlie Pallilo and Raheel Ramzanali talk about the evolution of the Texans offense and how Watson's greatness has put pressure on Bill O'Brien. Quick Hits is presented by Texas Star Grill Shop.

The Houston Astros announced on Monday that additional imaging has revealed that Jeremy Peña is dealing with a small fracture in one of his ribs.

Peña left Friday's game after being hit by a pitch in the ribs. The club originally believed they had avoided any fractures or breaks, but new information has informed them otherwise.

Peña is heading to the 10-day injured list retroactive to June 28. This news comes at an unfortunate time, with Jeremy posting the best regular season numbers of his career. He's currently slashing .322, .378, .489 with an .867 OPS.

Peña will miss the Rockies and Dodgers series at a minimum.

Let's hope the team doesn't rush him back too soon and create an even bigger problem. These quotes above from Dana Brown have me concerned. Playing through injuries can create bad habits, and Jeremy has clearly found his swing this season.
