Overview
- Peña left in the fourth inning Saturday at T-Mobile Park with right posterior knee tightness, according to the team.

- Peña said the tightness first surfaced Friday and eased, then flared while he was running the bases Saturday.
- He said he would get imaging Sunday and called the move precautionary, and the team has not announced a diagnosis or roster move.
