Bregman (finger) will make his Grapefruit League debut Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman fractured his left index finger during Game 6 of the World Series and has been easing into things this spring. The injury will keep him from participating in the World Baseball Classic but is not expected to affect his availability for Opening Day. Bregman posted an .820 OPS with 23 home runs in 2022.

Bregman's broken left index finger has healed well, and he's been able to swing since the start of January, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman broke his finger in the penultimate inning of last season, suffering the injury on a slide into second base in the eighth frame of Game 6 of the World Series. The injury could hardly have been better timed, as he was able to remain in the game and then had the maximum possible time to heal. It will be worth verifying that he does indeed look fully healthy once spring games begin, but he certainly appears to be on track.

Bregman sustained a broken left index finger during Game 6 of the World Series against the Phillies on Saturday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman suffered his injury while sliding into second base in the eighth inning Saturday, but he was able to remain in the game as the Astros secured a 4-1 victory to win the World Series for the second time in the last six years. The 28-year-old doesn't expect to require surgery but faces a recovery timetable of approximately eight weeks. However, he's expected to be ready for spring training in 2023.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Saturday's 5-2 win over the Astros in Game 2 of the World Series.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman extended the Houston lead to 5-0 with a 405-foot blast off Zack Wheeler in the fifth inning, his third homer of the postseason and second extra-base hit of the World Series. The 28-year-old third baseman extended his postseason hitting streak to five games, and he is now hitting .316 with nine RBI. Bregman is slated to face Noah Syndergaard in Game 3 -- he has two career at bats against Syndergaard and is 1-for-2 with an RBI single.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run Thursday night during Game 2 of the ALCS in the 3-2 win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman knocked in all three of the Houston runs for Game 2 with a 360-foot blast off Luis Severino in the third inning. After a hitless performance in Game 1, the 28-year-old third baseman bounced back with his second multi-hit showing and second homer of the postseason. Bregman is no stranger to postseason home runs -- Thursday's blast marked the 14th of his career and he is now 7-for-22 with six RBI in the 2022 playoffs.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

He also added a base hit on the day, improving his season-long slash line to .263/.370/.462 through 148 games.

Bregman isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman was expected to get a day off Wednesday, and he'll officially be on the bench while Aledmys Diaz starts at third base and bats cleanup. Bregman should be available off the bench if needed for Wednesday's series finale in Tampa Bay.

Manager Dusty Baker is planning to give Bregman a day off Wednesday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman will start one day after the Astros clinched the AL West, but it appears he will get a mid-week breather in order to get some rest prior to the postseason.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 4-0 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman provided a two-RBI double in the sixth inning and now has an extra-base hit in three consecutive games. The performance continued a productive stretch, as he has maintained a .314 average with 10 RBI and six runs scored across his last 10 starts. Bregman will look to end the campaign on a strong note, and his .846 OPS across 603 plate appearances is his highest mark since 2019.
