Bregman (quadriceps) started at third base and went 1-for-5 with a double and a walk for Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday.
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. The Astros are off Monday, so Bregman could conceivably return Tuesday at home against Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

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.
