Bregman will sit Saturday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman underwent wrist surgery in November but showed no ill effects in the first two games of the season, going 2-for-4 with a homer in both contests. He won't get the chance to keep that hot streak going in the third game of the year, with the Astros prioritizing managing his workload early in the season. Aledmys Diaz will take over at the hot corner.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 13-6 victory against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman launched a solo home run off reliever Oliver Ortega to provide a valuable insurance run in the sixth inning and later contributed to an eight-run seventh. The 28-year-old now has homers in consecutive games to start the season and looks to return to his 2019 MVP contender form after two subpar seasons.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI on Thursday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman was responsible for driving in Houston's first run of the season when he delivered a single to score Michael Brantley in the third inning. He then homered in the top of the eighth frame, providing the game-winning run. Bregman was limited to only 91 games in 2021 due a quadriceps injury, though he appears to be fully healthy for the new campaign with the potential to return to his past form.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman underwent surgery on his right wrist in November, and he'll make his first start of spring training Wednesday. The 27-year-old hit .270/.355/.422 with 12 home runs, 54 runs and 55 RBI in 91 games last season, but he struggled over the final couple weeks of the regular season and had a .604 OPS during the playoffs. It's unclear exactly how much the wrist issue affected his production, but Bregman is now healthy entering 2022 with a chance for a rebound campaign.

Bregman (wrist) was cleared to resume hitting Friday, Mark Berman of Fox 26 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman underwent right wrist surgery in early November and appears to be on track in his recovery. The 27-year-old remains hopeful that he'll be ready for the start of spring training.

Bregman underwent surgery on his right wrist surgery Monday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman is expected to resume baseball activities in January, leaving him ready for the start of spring training as long as he avoids setbacks. The Astros will hope that Bregman's wrist troubles explain his poor performance late in the year, as he fell off down the stretch before posting a poor .604 OPS in the playoffs. Bregman has now hit a merely good .261/.353/.431 over the last two seasons, a far cry from the .296/.423/.592 line he managed in 2019.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo homer, two runs and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox in Game 4 of the ALCS.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman went hitless in four at-bats Monday, but he bounced back with his first home run of the postseason in Tuesday's victory. The 27-year-old has started each of the first eight playoff games for the Astros and has slashed .281/.343/.406 with a home run, a double, six runs and five RBI during that time.

Bregman is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It appears to be a regular day off for Bregman as the Astros wrap up their regular season and prepare for the ALDS, which begins Thursday. Aledmys Diaz is playing third base and batting fifth Sunday.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 victory against Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Michael Wacha no-hit Houston for five innings, and Andrew Kittredge retired the first two batters he faced in the sixth. However, Bregman broke up the hitless string with his solo shot that gave Houston its first run of the game. The long ball was Bregman's second in as many games following a 10-contest homerless drought. The third baseman has struggled with injuries this season, but he has hit a solid .283 with 12 homers and 54 RBI in the 87 games in which he has played.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 4-3 defeat at the hands of the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman walked in the first inning, swatted a solo home run in the sixth to give Houston a temporary lead and singled in the ninth to reach base three times for the sixth time in September. The solid performance was a nice rebound for the star third baseman, who'd reached base in only five of his last 22 plate appearances entering play Sunday.
