Bregman (shoulder) is starting at third base and hitting cleanup Wednesday against the White Sox, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman has been cleared to rejoin the starting nine after sitting for both ends of Tuesday's twin bill due to a sore shoulder. The infielder, who is slashing .469/.564/.938 with 10 extra-base hits (two home runs, one triple and seven doubles) and 11 RBI in nine games this month, will face lefty Ross Detwiler in his return to action.

Bregman has a sore shoulder and is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman was expected to start the nightcap after sitting out Game 1, but he'll instead remain on the bench to nurse the shoulder issue. The 25-year-old sustained the injury Sunday against the Orioles when he was hit by a pitch. The injury doesn't appear to be a serious concern, as manager AJ Hinch hopes Bregman can return to the starting nine Wednesday, according to Jake Kaplan of The Athletic. Aledmys Diaz will remain in the lineup at the hot corner in his absence.

Bregman is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old has been hot recently, going 11-for-26 with one homer and six RBI over his past seven games, but he will get a breather for the first game of Tuesday's twin bill. Aledmys Diaz is starting at third base, batting seventh.

Bregman went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a home run, three runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 23-2 win at Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman had only the three plate appearances since he made an early exit with the Astros holding a huge lead, yet he still made significant contributions Saturday. The 25-year-old has a .322/.444/.621 slash line with five homers in 25 games since the All-Star break.

Bregman went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs Tuesday in the Astros' 11-6 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman has been one of several Astros to catch fire during the team's 5-0 start in August. The two-time All-Star has turned in multi-hit performances in four of those contests and sports a .545 on-base percentage over that stretch. He'll occupy third base and bat third Wednesday in the series finale.

Bregman went 3-for-3 with a home run, a double, two runs batted in and two walks in Thursday's win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman launched a 403-foot homer to left field in the fourth inning and drove home another run with a single in the seventh. It was the first time he has reached base five times in a game this season, and the three-hit effort was his seventh of the campaign. The 25-year-old is now slashing .265/.400/.531 with 27 home runs and 65 RBI over 473 plate appearances in 2019.

Bregman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since the Astros are wrapping up their series in St. Louis with a day game and have one fewer lineup spot than usual with no designated hitter available, manager AJ Hinch decided it was an optimal time to extend Bregman a breather. Aledmys Diaz will fill in at third base while Bregman bows out of the starting nine for the first time since July 12.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman's seventh-inning double snapped a run of 16 at-bats without a hit. The young third baseman is batting a career-low .259, but Bregman offers more than enough value to offset the drop on average. He's tied for 10th in home runs (26), 12th in runs scored (76), and 17th in OPS (.914).
