Bregman (quadriceps) went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI for Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman started at third base and played seven innings as planned for the first game of his second rehab assignment. That's part of the team's gradual plan to reintroduce the third baseman to game action, per Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle. Astros manager Dusty Baker has not divulged a projected number of games or plate appearances Bregman needs before rejoining Houston. While Bregman's away from the Astros, Aledmys Diaz is the primary fill-in at third base.

Bregman (hamstring) will resume his rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Sugar Land, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman has been absent from the big-league roster for over two months while dealing with quadriceps and hamstring issues. He's played in seven rehab games but none since Aug. 7 after suffering an apparent setback. It remains unclear exactly how many more rehab games the Astros will want him to make before they clear him to return to the roster, but he's finally back on the right track.

Houston general manager James Click said Sunday the team remains unsure when Bregman (quadriceps) will resume his rehab assignment at Triple-A Sugar Land, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Click echoed comments of manager Dusty Baker, who on Friday said he was unsure when the third baseman would resume playing in games. "We determined that the best course of action was to do a lot of work that didn't involve playing in games," Click said. "Right now we're making sure he's good to go at full speed with his legs fully underneath him. Once we feel like that's been accomplished we'll move onto hitting." Bregman worked out over the weekend and called Saturday's session his "best day yet," but the Astros remain cautious. Click suggested there's a mental component to the process, where Bregman needs to feel confident the muscles don't seize up on him.

EDGE Analysis

At this point, it seems like it would be fortunate if Bregman were able to rejoin the big club sometime next week, and a late-August return seems more realistic. He is working out, but was originally slated to return to the Triple-A lineup Friday, but that was put on hold.

Bregman (hamstring) is not in the Triple-A lineup Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman was supposed to be resuming his rehab assignment Friday, but it seems like he isn't physically ready to do so. It's still possible he could be activated from the injured list sometime next week, but there is no official reason why he hasn't resumed his rehab assignment.

Bregman reached to 20-day limit on minor-league rehab assignments, so he is spending a couple days in Houston before returning to Sugar Land. The third baseman is expected to return sometime next week, barring any setbacks once his rehab gets going again.

Astros manager Dusty Baker said Bregman (hamstring) is taking a few days off for treatment and won't be activated from the injured list for another week to 10 days, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman seemed to be closing in on a return, as he's already played seven rehab games, but it sounds as though he's suffered some sort of setback. The exact nature of that setback is unclear, but he'll rest for a few days before playing a few more rehab games. His eventual return to the big-league roster now looks like it will come sometime next week.

EDGE Analysis

For the second day in a row, Bregman played in the field for nine innings, which is an indication he's nearing a return to Houston. The latest plan revealed by the team was that Bregman would remain with the Skeeters through the weekend before a decision is made about his next step.
