Bregman (hamstring) will start at third base and bat third Tuesday in the Astros' Grapefruit League game against the Mets, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman will check into the lineup for the first time this spring after his debut was delayed by the sore left hamstring that he experienced shortly upon reporting to camp. According to Rome, manager Dusty Baker said that he expects Bregman to pick up two or three at-bats across four or five innings before bowing out of Tuesday's contest. If Bregman's hamstring responds well to game action, Baker indicated that the third baseman could be back in the lineup Wednesday against the Cardinals, too.

Bregman (hamstring) will play in Tuesday's exhibition game against the Mets, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman has had to wait a while to see his first action of the spring, but he will only have to wait one day longer at this point. Despite the lack of at-bats up to this point, the two weeks remaining in spring training should give him ample time to get ready for Opening Day.

Manager Dusty Baker hopes Bregman (hamstring) will be able to play in spring training games next week, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old has yet to make his spring debut due to a left hamstring issue, and he won't be joining the lineup this weekend. Bregman said last week he feels about 90 percent healthy while taking live batting practice and participating in pregame work, but the Astros continue to slow play his progression in camp. There doesn't appear to be much concern about his availability for Opening Day at this point, though it's worth keeping an eye on his status until he actually takes the field.

Bregman (hamstring) isn't expected to make his Cactus League debut until the middle of next week at the earliest, Mark Berman of KRIV Fox 26 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman came into camp battling a sore hamstring, and the Astros have seen no reason to push their star third baseman. He's been working out in some form since late February and recently said he felt 90 percent healthy, but the Astros don't intend for him to get into game action for at least another week. He'll only have about two weeks until Opening Day at that point, so it's possible he needs the occasional maintenance day early in the year, but the team doesn't sound too worried about a potential trip to the injured list.

Bregman (hamstring) said he feels "90 percent" healthy, but it's unclear when he's expected to make his spring debut, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old suffered the hamstring injury while working out in January, but he's been a full participant in pregame work and is also taking live batting practice. Bregman indicates he'll be ready in time for Opening Day, and it's no surprise to see the Astros exercising caution with their star third baseman early in camp.

Bregman (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Saturday's spring game against the Mets, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman's hamstring injury has prevented him from seeing any action this spring, and his status will not change Saturday. The Astros will have a day off after their next game Sunday, so it seems likely Bregman's spring debut will not come until at least sometime next week.

Bregman (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman's absence for the Astros' spring opener was fully expected, as the 26-year-old has yet to take part in fielding work during workouts while managing a hamstring injury. The issue is believed to be a minor concern, given that Bregman has been able to take batting practice in recent days.

Bregman (hamstring) took batting practice on the field for a second consecutive day Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman has yet to participate in fielding drills, so it would appear he will not play in Sunday's Grapefruit League opener.

Bregman (hamstring) took batting practice on the field Thursday but didn't go through fielding drills, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman has been slowed to start camp due to a sore hamstring. He's expected to miss some spring training games, but the issue doesn't yet seem like it will cost him time at the beginning of the regular season. With Opening Day still over a month away, the Astros can afford to be cautious.

Astros manager Dusty Baker said Wednesday that Bregman has been held out of workouts this week due to a sore hamstring, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman presumably won't be cleared in time to play in the Astros' Grapefruit League opener Sunday versus the Marlins, but Baker didn't suggest the third baseman's hamstring issue was overly worrisome. The 26-year-old will be looking to rebound this season after taking a big step back in the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign, when he slashed .242/.350/.451 with six home runs and no stolen bases over 42 games.
