Bregman went 2-for-5 with a double and a homer in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman has struggled for the first week-plus of the season but he didn't have any issues Tuesday. He blasted a solo homer off Mitch Keller two batters into the game, and it was the first homer of the season for the third baseman. Even with the pair of extra-base hits Bregman is hitting just .188/.316/.271 on the young season, but history tells us those numbers should rise considerably as the season progresses.

Bregman went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in Saturday's win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Kyle Tucker and Yordan Alvarez have paced the Astros' offense early this season, but Bregman is now 0-for-12 through three games. He has reached base once on a walk and came around to score in that lone trip on base Friday. Bregman has posted an OPS of at least .800 in five of the last six seasons, so there's no reason to panic despite the slow start.

Bregman (finger) is in the lineup for Friday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The third baseman is ready to make his spring debut after fracturing his left index finger during the World Series last fall. He will bat cleanup behind Jose Altuve, Jeremy Pena and Kyle Tucker. With Opening Day still about a month out, Bregman has plenty of time to prepare for the start of the season.

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.
