Pena expects to be fine after shoulder injury

Reds catcher Brayan Pena said he expects to be fine after leaving Sunday's game with a strained left shoulder.

Pena, making his first appearance of the season, dropped down a bunt single to lead off the Reds' seventh, but as he got close to the bag, it appeared he was trying to decide whether or not to slide, and his indecision resulted in a rolling, tumbling fall. He did still get his hand on the base and was safe.

"I shouldn't slide. What am I doing? That's what happens when you're not Billy Hamilton, you don't know what to do," Pena said after the game. "I just tried to get on base because I was trying to hustle down and I need to work on my sliding. Hopefully I'll be OK, (Monday) will be big for me because it depends on how I wake up. I was very excited when the doctor gave me the news that it wasn't anything major or serious. I saw I landed very awkwardly, I'm not a 200-pound guy, I'm 240-plus. I'll be fine."

Pena was replaced by pinch-runner Kristopher Negron, who scored on Todd Frazier's go-ahead double in the inning.
