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 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.
