Bregman (quadriceps) will continue his rehab at Triple-A Sugar Land through the weekend, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman, who missed some time due to a hamstring issue earlier this week, participated in the Skeeters' suspended game Wednesday, going 1-for-2 with a double. Houston general manager James Click was encouraged by how the third baseman ran the bases, but the team wants to make sure he's fully healthy before bringing him back to the majors, since the hamstring injury set back his base-running progress. Bregman has missed Houston's last 39 games due to the quad issue.

Manager Dusty Baker said that Bregman (quadriceps/hamstring) is slated to play the full game at Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday after being a late scratch from Monday's lineup, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman was removed from Sunday's rehab game after experiencing right hamstring tightness, and the issue later forced the infielder to be scratched Monday. The 27-year-old is set to give it a go Tuesday, and assuming all goes well, he'll likely avoid a significant delay in his return to the big-league roster, which could come within the next week.

Bregman (quadriceps/hamstring) was scratched from Monday's lineup at Triple-A Sugar Land, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman exited Sunday's rehab game due to right hamstring tightness, and he'll be out of the lineup for at least one game while he recovers. The 27-year-old had appeared in five rehab games prior to Sunday's injury, so he's approaching his return to the major-league roster as long as his recent injury doesn't present a major setback in his recovery process. According to Jake Kaplan of The Athletic, Bregman is scheduled to run Monday, and after that the next step in his rehab program will be determined.

Bregman (quadriceps) was removed from Sunday's rehab game at Triple-A Sugar Land due to right hamstring tightness, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman was appearing in his fifth rehab game, and the Astros called his removal from the contest precautionary. Prior to his departure, he went 0-for-1 with a strikeout. The 27-year-old has now gone 0-for-13 with a run, three walks and a strikeout to begin his rehab assignment, but it's not yet clear whether his hamstring issue could slow his recovery.

Bregman (quadriceps) will report to Triple-A Sugar Land to begin a rehab assignment Monday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman isn't expected to return during Houston's 10-day road trip, which begins Monday, but the rehab assignment indicates his activation is on the horizon. The 27-year-old could be back for the Aug. 5 matchup with the Twins if the rehab stint goes smoothly.

Bregman (quadriceps) is unlikely to return during the Astros' upcoming road trip, with runs from July 26 through Aug. 4, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman hasn't played since mid-June while dealing with a strained left quadriceps. The given timeline means he's still nearly two weeks away from returning to the active roster. He may need a small handful of rehab games before he's cleared to return given the length of his absence.

Bregman (quad) said Tuesday that he will run the bases a few more times at high intensity before beginning a minor-league rehab assignment, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman increased the speed of his base running Tuesday, and so long as he's able to the same during the next day or two, it sounds like he could begin a rehab assignment as soon as this weekend. The third baseman is expected to need somewhere between 15 and 30 at-bats in the minors before being activated, which amounts to roughly 4-to-7 games. With that in mind, Bregman has an outside chance of being reinstated by the end of July, though an early August return figures to be more likely at this point.

Bregman remains in Houston rehabilitating his strained left quadriceps, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Earlier this month, Bregman was giddy about beginning a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sugar Land this past week, but that never materialized. Houston general manager James Click said the infielder could join the Skeeters on their six-game road trip to Oklahoma City, which begins Thursday, then said "but if not it won't be too far behind that." Bregman has missed 27 games since straining the left quad June 16. Abraham Toro is picking up the majority of starts at third base in his absence.

Bregman (quadriceps) said he expects to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land in mid-July, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman is aiming to play for the Skeeters during their trip to Albuquerque, which runs from July 15-20. Thus, an activation near the end of the month remains realistic for Bregman, who's been sidelined by a left quadriceps strain since June 17.
