Pena is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Rockies, John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Analysis:

Pena will likely receive a normal day of rest Wednesday after five straight starts behind the plate. He's hit a bit of a rough patch at the dish recently, going just 3-for-21 in his last six games. Perhaps the day off will help him recharge, as Tucker Barnhart will sit behind the plate and bat seventh for the Reds on Wednesday.
