Houston has managed quite nicely offensively without Bregman, but getting the dynamic hitter back sooner than later would be a huge boost. For the season, ...

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (quad) will miss at least a couple weeks with a left quad strain, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Manager Dusty Baker said that Bregman will be out, "at least two to three weeks or more," and added that, "These things don't heal that quickly.
