Bregman went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman extended his hitting streak to six games (8-for-23, four extra-base hits) and has reached base safely in 17 of 19 games during the month of May. That shouldn't come as too much of a surprise as it was during May when he started to bust out last season. He's slashing .286/.383/.529 this month, raising his season average to .270. The Albuquerque native may be one of those players whose bat heats up as the weather does.

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.
