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).

Bregman went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and three runs scored in Thursday's victory over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman was a nuisance to Angels pitchers all night, scoring in the first, third and fifth innings while reaching base in all four plate appearances. He belted a 408-foot solo shot off Matt Harvey in the fifth inning to reach 25 home runs on the season. With the impressive performance, the 25-year-old is now slashing .271/.403/.541 with 70 runs scored and 61 RBI in 340 at-bats this season. Perhaps most impressively, he has taken 76 walks while striking out only 56 times.

Bregman went 2-for-5 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Bregman (head) is not in the lineup for Friday's game at Texas since he is still being evaluated for a head injury, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman had a tough hop hit him square in the chin Thursday, causing him to exit the contest and receive four stitches. It sounds as though the 24-year-old is being evaluated for a potential concussion, which would be much more worrisome than the chin laceration. Bregman should be considered day-to-day until more is known about the injury.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman was the victim of a tough hop on a groundball to third base, and he had to leave Thursday's contest in the third inning as a result. His availability for Friday's matchup should become more clear closer to first pitch.

EDGE Analysis

He got the Astros on the board with a first-inning blast, and Bregman got very little to hit the rest of the night. The 25-year-old is now slashing .267/.392/.541 on the year with 23 homers, four steals, 55 RBI and 58 runs through 85 games.
