After collapsing in the dugout late last month due to severe dehydration, missed a month of playing time. However, that hasn't stopped Peña, as he has picked up right where he left off.

In his second game back with High-A Wisconsin (after a three-game rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League), Peña reached base five times on Thursday evening in a 13-11 win against Peoria at at Neuroscience Group Field.

Overall in the slugfest, Peña -- Milwaukee's No. 2 prospect and MLB Pipeline's No. 19 overall prospect -- went 2-for-3 with two singles, three walks, two runs and a stolen base. One of his two singles was the key hit in the game.

Entering the bottom of the seventh inning, the Timber Rattlers were down, 7-5, but two walks and two singles tied the game at 7. After another walk, Peña came up and punched a single to right field, giving Wisconsin an 8-7 lead, a lead that they wouldn't relinquish as the club scored four more runs in the frame to make it a seven-run inning.

In 14 games at High-A this year, Peña is hitting .375/.492/.500 with one home run, nine RBIs and more walks (12) than strikeouts (10). He has also showcased his 70-grade speed with seven stolen bases at the level this season.

While his absence set him back for a little bit, the 19-year-old continues to show why he's an infield prospect to keep an eye on in a farm system full of top infield prospects.
