Bregman admitted his swing is not where it needs to be and continues to work on his mechanics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman had a late start to camp and is trying to build up plate appearances and see as much pitching as possible. "I'm going to continue to work hard and continue [to work on] those mechanical issues we have going on right now," said the third baseman. Bregman homered in four at-bats during Monday's intrasquad game, which was a step in the right direction, and is confident he'll be ready for Opening Day.

EDGE Analysis
Bregman is reportedly "fine" according to Rome, though the test result is "required" before he can join the Astros for workouts. So long as Bregman's test comes back negative, he should be back with the team sometime later in the week.

Bregman has been battling an illness but is expected to return to game action Tuesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old remains with the team and is working out at the facility Sunday, so the illness appears to be a minor concern. The illness shouldn't have any impact on Bregman's preparations for Opening Day.

Bregman said Monday that he trimmed down from 215 pounds to 195 this offseason with a focus on increasing his mobility, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perhaps in part due to the heftier build, Bregman saw his stolen bases fall for a second straight season, dropping from 10 in 2018 to only five in 2019. The strength of the Astros' lineup from top to bottom should again put a natural limit on Bregman's running opportunities, but even a modest bounce back in steals would help compensate for some expected regression in the power department after he clubbed a career-high 41 home runs last season. Though his role in the Astros' sign-stealing scandal has made Bregman a controversial figure this winter, his well-rounded profile still makes him a comfortable top-two-round selection in fantasy.
