Bregman (quadriceps) will hit on the field ahead of Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman began light running at the beginning of July, and he'll take another significant step in his recovery by hitting Wednesday. While the 27-year-old has indicated that he's way ahead of schedule in his recovery timetable, he won't return until sometime after the All-Star break.

Bregman (quadriceps) has begun light running, but he will not return before the All-Star break.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman indicated he's way ahead of schedule in his return timeline but admitted Saturday that he won't be back before the All-Star break. Interested observers should plan on a late-July return.

Bregman said Tuesday that his ultrasound on his strained left quad "went great" and that he is "way ahead of schedule" in his return timeline, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Dusty Baker said earlier Tuesday that he didn't expect Bregman to return for at least another month. The third baseman's own update seems to contradict that of the skipper, as being ahead of schedule would seem to indicate Bregman could be activated sometime in mid-to-late July. It's hard to know who's word holds more weight at this point, but Bregman's timeline will likely be clarified before too long.

Astros manager Dusty Baker said Monday that he doesn't expect Bregman (quadriceps) to return for at least a month, SportsTalk 790 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

This certainly isn't a positive update for Bregman, as last week it was reported that he could be back in two or three weeks. It's not entirely clear if the third baseman suffered some sort of setback that led to the longer return timeline, but based on Baker's update, Bregman appears likely to miss the entire month of July. Abraham Toro should continue to serve as the primary third baseman in Bregman's absence.

Bregman (quadriceps) is still "at least two or three weeks or more" away from returning, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman landed on the 10-day injured list with a left quad strain Thursday, and manager Dusty Baker said right away that the 27-year-old would be out "a while." A better idea of the infielder's status could be revealed once he's able to resume baseball activities, but he could be sidelined until around the All-Star break following Baker's most recent update.

Manager Dusty Baker said Friday that Bregman (quad) will be out "a while," Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Baker's update failed to provide any sort of specific timeline for the infielder, it confirms that he'll be out well longer than the minimum 10 days. With that under consideration, Bregman figures to be on the shelf through June and possibly a large portion of July with the strained left quad. The Astros will likely look to have a more concrete timeline for the star third baseman in the near future.

Bregman (quadriceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The exact length of Bregman's absence remains unclear, but he'll be sidelined for at least 10 days as he recovers from the left quad strain suffered early in Wednesday's game against the Rangers. Garrett Stubbs was recalled to fill Bregman's roster spot, while Abraham Toro and Robel Garcia could see time at third base during his absence.

Houston manager Dusty Baker said Bregman (quadriceps) could be out "for a while," Brent Zwerneman of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baker was also quick to point out that the severity of Bregman's injury is not yet known, and the third baseman will undergo further evaluation Thursday. It sounds like there is a wide range of possible outcomes in terms of downtime for Bregman. Robel Garcia replaced him Wednesday, and he figures to be the primary fill-in while Bregman is unavailable.

Bregman left Wednesday's game against the Rangers with a left quad strain, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The third baseman's limp suggested a leg-related injury, and this update confirmed as much. It's unclear at this time how severe the quad strain is and how long Bregman will be sidelined.

Bregman exited Wednesday's contest against the Rangers with a limp, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman pulled up limp after grounding into a double play in the first inning. The specifics about his injury, and whether he'll miss any time, should become clear following the game. Robel Garcia came in to replace Bregman at third base.
