3B BOS
Bregman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman will take a seat after he was one of the quieter performers in the Astros' 13-4 rout of Boston on Tuesday, as he finished the day 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored. The 28-year-old is walking at a 16 percent clip in 2022 -- the second-highest rate of his career -- but his .230 average, zero stolen bases and five home runs in 154 plate appearances have made him a relatively disappointing fantasy contributor even while he's shown a discerning eye at the plate. Aledmys Diaz will check in at third base for Bregman, who is sitting for just the third time in the Astros' 38 games on the season.

Bregman went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and two RBI on Tuesday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman delivered an RBI double in the fifth inning and followed that up with a sacrifice fly one frame later. Across his last six games, he has gone 7-for-19 with three doubles, a home run, six RBI and four runs scored. That performance has raised Bregman's ISO to .214 across 117 plate appearances on the season, a significant improvement over his .152 mark in 2021.

Bregman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored Sunday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman took Joe Jimenez yard in the fifth inning to record his fifth homer of the season. He has yet to get going at the plate -- he has just seven hits in 34 at-bats across his last 10 games -- but he has more walks than strikeouts and is suffering from a .228 BABIP. Bregman should be able to improve upon his .235 batting average going forward and remain a strong source of runs due to his strong on-base percentage.

Bregman went 3-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and three RBI on Wednesday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman drove in a run in each of the second, fourth and sixth innings to tally his first multi-RBI performance since April 23. He had been quiet at the plate prior to Wednesday's offensive explosion, tallying only five hits in 34 at-bats across his last 10 games. Overall, Bregman is hitting .247/.347/.447 across 101 plate appearances to go along with four home runs, 16 RBI and 14 runs scored.

Bregman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman will sit for only the second time this season in what amounts to his first day off since April 9. Aledmys Diaz will fill in at third base for the 28-year-old, who is hitting .233 with four home runs, 13 RBI and 12 runs through 88 plate appearances on the season.

3B BOS
Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, two walks and three runs scored Friday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman got the Astros on the board with a solo home run in the first inning, his fourth long ball of the season. He reached base an additional two times on free passes, and he came around to score on each occasion. Even after this performance, Bregman has only five extra-base hits across his last 18 games. However, he's still reaching base regularly thanks to a 16.9 percent walk rate, so he has been able to rack up 12 runs scored across 83 total plate appearances on the campaign.

EDGE Analysis
Bregman ended Houston's weekend series against Toronto having tallied five hits, four RBI and one run scored across three games. On Sunday, he recorded his RBI by working a bases loaded walk in the second inning, and he later smacked a two-out double in the sixth frame. Bregman has now turned in three multi-hit games across his last six starts.

EDGE Analysis
Bregman got the Astros on the board with a two-run home run in the first inning, his third long ball of the season and first since April 8. Though the power production hasn't been consistent, Bregman has collected at least one hit in four of his last five games. Overall, he's hitting .271/.357/.500 across 56 plate appearances.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 8-3 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman singled and scored in the fourth inning. He then doubled and scored again on Yordan Alvarez's second homer of the game in the seventh. Bregman had been in a 1-for-16 slump over the last five games. He's now batting .265 with six runs scored through 34 at-bats on the year.

Bregman went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout Sunday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman was hitless for his fourth consecutive game, though he has walked four times across 16 plate appearances in that same span. While it's generally too early to panic about early season slumps, Bregman has also yet to register an extra-base hit on the campaign. Positively, he's striking out at a 14 percent clip -- in line with his career norms -- so hits should start to fill in.
