Bregman (hamstring) remains out of the lineup Monday against Oakland but will be activated ahead of Tuesday's contest, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman was expected to miss three weeks after straining his hamstring in mid-August, and he'll wind up returning more or less on schedule. The third baseman considered himself fully healthy back on Thursday, though it's still possible the Astros ease him back into action with the occasional off day.

Manager Dusty Baker said Sunday that he hopes Bregman (hamstring) is ready for the team's upcoming series against the A's, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports. Baker added that the team is going to be "pretty cautious" with Bregman and his hamstring.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman deemed himself "100 percent" Thursday, but he did not receive clearance from the training staff to return for this weekend's series against the Angels. It sounds like Bregman will receive semi-regular maintenance days once he's back on the active roster, with the Astros focused primarily on getting him back to full strength in time for the postseason.

Bregman (hamstring) took batting practice Thursday and is close to coming off the injured list, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Kaplan, Bregman said he is 100 percent healthy, so his activation should come any day now. He also did some running and fielding Wednesday, with his hamstring apparently responding well to the activity. Aledmys Diaz will act as Houston's primary third baseman until Bregman is deemed ready to go.

Bregman (hamstring) could join the Astros for their upcoming road trip in hopes of returning from the injured list before it ends, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman was expected to miss at least three weeks after straining his right hamstring in mid-August. He'll hit that three-week mark a week Sept. 9, and the Astros' road trip runs from Sept. 4 to Sept. 13, so he appears to be still on that schedule.

Bregman (hamstring) has reported to the Astros' alternate site and has resumed running, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear what speed Bregman is running at, but manager Dusty Baker viewed a video of the session and said Bregman "looks good." While it's a good sign Bregman is up on his feet, he is still expected to be out several more weeks.

Bregman (hamstring) will miss at least three weeks, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Houston general manager James Click confirmed that news Sunday. "We're hoping it's a three-week thing," Click told the Astros' radio broadcast. "Initially, that's kind of the timetable we're looking at. But obviously with all of these things, we have to be patient. We have to wait for things to calm down there and see how he responds to treatment." Bregman suffered the injury during Wednesday's game against the Rockies. Since then, he's been replaced by Abraham Toro at third base and Carlos Correa at third in the batting order.

The Astros placed Bregman (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll leave the Astros' ongoing road trip and return to Houston to undergo an MRI on his strained right hamstring, an injury he sustained in Wednesday's win over the Rockies. Bregman becomes the third major Houston hitter to land on the IL in the past week, joining Yordan Alvarez (knee) and Michael Brantley (quadriceps). A clearer timeline for Bregman's return should become available once his MRI results are read, but while he's sidelined, Abraham Toro, Jack Mayfield and Yuli Gurriel are the main candidates to see more time at third base.

Bregman (hamstring) is not in Thursday's lineup against the Rockies, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given that he was diagnosed with a strained right hamstring after leaving Wednesday's game, it's not surprising to see him out of the lineup the next day. Abraham Toro will start at third base and hit seventh.

Bregman was diagnosed with a strained right hamstring after leaving Wednesday's win over the Rockies, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman sustained the injury running out a double during the fourth inning and was quickly removed after limping into second base. Manager Dusty Baker said he expects the 26-year-old to "be more sore in the morning than he is now," so he seems unlikely to be in the lineup for Thursday's series finale.

Bregman exited Wednesday's game against the Rockies with right hamstring discomfort, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old appeared to suffer the injury while running to second base on his fourth-inning double, leading to his prompt removal from the contest. The Astros will already be without Yordan Alvarez (knee) for the remainder of the season and Michael Brantley (quadriceps) is still on the injured list, so the lineup can ill afford to be without another key piece. Bregman should be considered day-to-day until the team offers more information on the injury.
