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.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk and a pair of runs in Monday's ALDS Game 1 win over Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman scored the first of Houston's 10 runs with a solo homer in the top of the fourth inning. He later came around to score on Carlos Correa's ninth-inning single. He's now homered 11 times in 47 career playoff games.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman tied the game at 2-2 in the sixth inning with his sixth homer of the season. He put the Astros ahead in the 10th with a sacrifice fly to plate initial runner Jose Altuve, but the Rangers battled back to win in the bottom of the 10th. Bregman is now slashing .253/.357/.473 with 22 RBI and 19 runs scored in 40 contests. His .830 OPS would be his lowest mark since 2017.

Bregman went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, an RBI triple, a double and another run scored during Thursday's win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman had a hot night at the plate, starting things off with an RBI triple against Lance Lynn in the first inning, then cranking a two-run home run in the fifth. The 26-year-old then tacked on a double in the sixth, falling just a single shy of the cycle. Bregman now has five long balls this season to go with a .254/.361/.458 slash line.

Bregman went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman has hit safely in four straight contests, going 5-for-14 with two runs, two doubles and three RBI. He appears to be back to normal after a hamstring injury wiped out nearly three weeks. Bregman was initially brought along slowly when activated from the injured list last week, but Wednesday's start was his fifth straight.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman displayed a nice piece of two-strike hitting and delivered the go-ahead run as part of a five-run rally in the ninth inning. It was an important win for the Astros, who entered the game losers of eight straight. The base knock was Bregman's first in 14 plate appearances since returning from a hamstring injury

Bregman returned to the lineup and went 0-for-4 in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Atheltics.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman played one of the doubleheader games Tuesday before sitting out Wednesday as the Astros bring him back slowly from a hamstring injury. With Houston off Friday, Bregman will get another day before playing in games Saturday and Sunday against the Dodgers.

Bregman will be in the lineup for both weekend games against the Dodgers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman was activated from the injured list Tuesday and started one of the doubleheader games that day. He was then held out Wednesday as part of a predetermined plan, although he did pinch hit and played third base for the final inning. He could return to the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against Oakland ahead of an off-day Friday before the weekend games in Los Angeles.
