Bregman went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman came through with an RBI single in the third inning and later launched a solo home run in the seventh inning, his 24th of the season. His two homers this series -- he also went deep Friday -- were his first since July 28, though his .522 slugging percentage through 464 at-bats this season outpaces his best career marks by nearly 50 points. While he has only six RBI and eight runs scored in 56 August at-bats, he should benefit as the Astros' lineup returns to full strength with the imminent activation of Jose Altuve (knee) from the disabled list.

Bregman went 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
We remember Bregman's homer barrage earlier this summer when he blasted 17 with 47 RBI and slugged .680 in a 46-game span, but that type of power has disappeared. Prior to Friday's blast, he'd gone 15 games without a home run with four RBI and a .351 slugging percentage. The hope is that now Houston is getting its injured stars back -- Carlos Correa returned last week, George Springer returned Friday and Jose Altuve (knee) is due back next week -- Bregman and the rest of the hitters can resemble the order that produced a 113 wRC+ (3rd in MLB) in the first half of the season.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a run scored and one RBI in the 4-3 loss to Seattle on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman slapped an RBI single and later scored during Houston's eight inning rally. The 24-year-old is riding a short seven-game hitting streak, raising his season average to .280, just shy of his .284 mark last season. With 22 homers and 73 RBI, Bregman has established himself as a strong fantasy infielder.

EDGE Analysis
Bregman got the scoring started early, putting the Astros on the board just two batters into the game with a two-run shot in the top of the first. The 24-year-old has already topped last year's output with 21 home runs and now sits just three RBI away from matching the 71 he totaled last season.

EDGE Analysis
Bregman, who had one home run through the first 34 games, established a new career mark with his 20th homer. His transformation from minor-league shortstop to power-hitting corner infielder is now complete after Bregman was selected earlier this week to participate in the Home Run Derby as part of the All-Star Game festivities.

EDGE Analysis
Bregman took James Shields deep in the sixth inning for his 17th home run of the season.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
For the second straight day, the 24-year-old accounted for all of Houston's offense. There may be no hotter hitter in the majors right now than Bregman, who's homered in five of the last six games and is hitting .339 (21-for-62) over his last 15 contests with eight home runs, 14 runs and 20 RBI.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman provided all the runs the Astros could muster Friday with a lineup devoid of Carlos Correa (back), Yulieski Gurriel (personal) and George Springer (rest). Bregman filled in for Springer as the leadoff hitter and blasted his fourth homer in the last five games and 10th during the month of June. The 24-year-old third baseman's slugging .702 in June, with 20 of his 32 hits going for extra bases.
