Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman's homer, his second of the season, gives him hits in five straight games, but like his other hot streaks this season, it's been a quiet (5-for-18, one RBI, two runs) run. He entered Sunday's game ranked 25th among third basemen in ISO (.095).

Bregman went 1-for-4 with three RBI in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros were flummoxed over the first 3.2 innings by Angels starter Nick Tropeano, who retired the first 11 batters faced before losing command in the fourth. He walked two batters and hit another before a four-seamer to Bregman caught too much of the plate and was roped for a bases-clearing double. That provided all the space Justin Verlander needed to secure his fourth win of the season. The 24-year-old third baseman has hit safely in seven of the last eight, going 12-for-33 (.364) with four doubles and six RBI.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't too long ago that manager A.J. Hinch gave a scuffling Bregman a day off, then dropped him in the order. He responded to the day off by having it safely in four games -- he has a five-game hitting streak going back to the game before the day off -- including three straight with multiple hits. He's got the average up to .253, but more is expected from the 24-year-old.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Manager A.J. Hinch is trying to rock Bregman out of slump that has him hitting .160 (4-for-25) since he posted a four-hit game April 11. After Hinch gave Bregman a day off Wednesday, the manager had him back in the lineup and dropped him to the five-hole.

Bregman will be back in the lineup Thursday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman was given the night off Wednesday as a way to reboot a dormant bat. Since the first four-hit game of his career April 11 against the Twins, the young third baseman had gone 3-for-21. Manager A.J. Hinch had dropped him from second to fifth in the batting order Tuesday, so the manager is looking to get him on track. Bregman is hitting .214 through 18 games.

Bregman is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman will head to the bench for the first time all season after starting each of the first 18 games and going 15-for-70 (.214) with a homer and a stolen base. Marwin Gonzalez will slide to third base in his stead, with Derek Fisher drawing a start in left field as a result.

Bregman, who entered Wednesday's game on a 3-for-18 slide, went 4-for-6 with a home run, a double and two runs scored in a 9-8 loss to the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman has been making contact all year, but wasn't getting balls to drop -- until Wednesday. "I felt good really all year, barreling up the baseball," Bregman told Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. "[In the] first series in Texas, I hit a lot of balls at people and kind of started to chase some hits after that instead of chasing some good pitches to hit, and today I was just looking for some good pitches to hit and was fortunate enough to put some good swings on the ball." It was the first four-hit game of his career, and the homer was his first of the season. He had a similarly cold start in 2017 and managed to turn things round.

Bregman went 1-for-3 with a walk and was picked off in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman led the fifth with a single and was promptly picked off in yet another game where the Astros' offense was quiet and runs were dear. The 24-year-old third sacker his hitting just .186 over 12 games. He has similar batted-ball characteristics as last season, but has had little to show for it -- his .216 BABIP a testament to that. Struggling hitters tend to expand the strike zone, but his swing rate and swing rate outside the zone does not indicate he's chasing bad pitches. The quirks of BABIP should correct itself, but you'll need to be patient with Bregman.

Bregman went 2-for-5 with the game-winning RBI in the 10th inning of Saturday's 1-0 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman's 10th-inning "single" was a popup that should have been caught, but landed safely between three Padres about 20 feet from home plate. The 24-year-old third baseman, who collected his first multi-hit game of the season, has hit safely in six of nine games but is batting just .206.

Bregman went 1-for-3 with a walk and the game-winning RBI in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman, who has started every game so far, is hitting just .200 (5-for-25) through seven games, but has walked seven times and is currently riding a quiet four-game hitting streak. He's a good hitter and will eventually get his timing down.
