EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

For the fourth straight contest, Bregman will be on the bench while he continues to work through an elbow issue, though the worst of it seems to be behind him at this point. According to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, Astros manager Joe Espada said Sunday the swelling in Bregman's right elbow is almost gone, which bodes well for the 30-year-old's chances of returning to the lineup at some point during the Astros' series in Cincinnati. With a team off day on tap Tuesday, Bregman will get an additional day to heal up before the Astros and Reds resume their three-game set Wednesday.

Bregman will stay on the bench for a third straight game as he continues to nurse a sore elbow. The 30-year-old missed a handful of games in mid-August due to the elbow issue, and he'll likely need to contend with the injury for the rest of the season. Shay Whitcomb is starting at third base Sunday, but Bregman should be back in action before long. In fact, manager Joe Espada told Brian McTaggart of MLB.com that the swelling in Bregman's elbow has almost dissipated, and the 30-year-old might be available off the bench Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman missed five games in August due to swelling in his right elbow, though he has started in each of the Astros' last nine games.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman pushed the Astros back in front with a solo home in the seventh and they would never look back. It's a continuation of what's already been a strong month for Bregman. He now has eight multi-hit efforts and at least a hit in 14 of his last 16 games while only striking out nine times in 77 at-bats. For the year, he's slashing .260/.316/.448 with 21 homers, 61 RBI, 67 runs, three steals and a 37:69 BB:K in 532 plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman started in the designated hitter spot in his first two games back from swelling in his right elbow, but he's feeling well enough to play the field Friday. The Astros are likely to continue giving Bregman some starts at DH just to be safe, but it's a good sign that he's returning to third base already. Yordan Alvarez will be the DH on Friday.
