| Brayan Pena batting eighth |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(6/18/13) Tigers catcher Brayan Pena will receive the majority of the playing time behind the plate with Alex Avila on the disabled list, but he won't be expected to do much offensively.
Pena will hit eighth for the Tigers Tuesday against the Orioles. Pena is hitting .283/.309/.391 in 92 at-bats. He'll take on Zach Britton.

| Brayan Pena worth an add in deeper leagues |
by Nando Di Fino | Senior Fantasy Writer
(6/17/13) With Tigers catcher Alex Avila being sent to the DL Monday, Brayan Pena will likely see most of the time behind home plate for at least the next two weeks. Pena, 31, is htting a career-best .295 this season, with two home runs and a .732 OPS (also a career high) in 88 at-bats.
Pena will not hit for power or steal bases. But the regular playing time could get him in a rhythm that leads to a better average, as he had a .303 average over nine seasons in the minors).
Fantasy players in two-catcher Roto leagues should consider Pena for the counting stat and won't-hurt-your-team batting average potential. He's probably not rosterable in anything shallower than a 14-team format, though.

| Brayan Pena thriving with more playing time |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(5/26/13) Tigers catcher Brayan Pena has seen his playing time rise since he's hitting and starter Alex Avila is not. Pena started for the fourth time in six games Saturday against the Twins and produced his third three-hit game during a six-game hitting streak.
Pena has been hitting well for most of May. In his last nine games (seven starts), he's batting .441 (15 for 34) with two doubles, two home runs and seven RBI.
"He knows his role and knows his situation," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said, per MLive.com. "He’s just here to contribute. We thought it was a good pickup for us, and certainly it has been. He’s done a good job."
Pena is grateful for the opportunity to contribute.
"Every time I get the opportunity to go out there, I'm just trying to take advantage," Pena said. "I'm just trying to help my team to win and never taking anything or granted. Just go out there and battle and fight to show appreciation for what the skipper is doing, giving me a chance to go out there. I don't want to let him down. I don't want to let the team down."

| Tigers keep hot-hitting Brayan Pena in lineup |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(5/23/13) Tigers catcher Brayan Pena started consecutive games for the first time this season Thursday against the Twins. It also was his third start in four games.
Pena has been on a roll offensively, hitting safely in four straight games and six of seven. He's batting .423 (11 for 26) with one double, two home runs and seven RBI in his last seven games.

| Brayan Pena has three hits vs. Indians |
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(5/12/13) Tigers catcher Brayan Pena had a two-run home run in the second inning Sunday afternoon against the Indians. He added two singles and finished 3 for 4 with a run scored and two RBI in a 4-3 extra-inning loss.
Pena raised his batting average from .205 to .256 after his second multi-hit performance of the season.

| Brayan Pena's four-year tenure with the Royals came to an end this offseason, as he signed with the Tigers to be Alex Avila's backup. In his first season in Kansas City, Pena showed some promise, as he batted .273 with six home runs in just 165 at-bats. Pena's playing time has increased somewhat over the last two seasons, but his production didn't. With batting averages under .250 in both 2011 and 2012 and little extra-base power, Pena figures to be little more than AL-only filler in 2013. (Updated 1/4/13) |
