Bregman went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer Wednesday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman provided some insurance in the bottom of the eighth inning, turning a narrow two-run lead into an insurmountable five-run advantage. With three home runs in his past five games, Bregman's starting to show the hitting ability that led Houston to take him second overall in the 2015 draft. He's now slashing .278/.357/.487 on the year.

3B BOS
Bregman went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double during Saturday's win over Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
After a sluggish start, Bregman has posted solid numbers over the past 50 games with eight homers, 24 RBI, nine stolen bases, 38 runs and a .307/.399/.587 slash line. He is closing in on a 20-20 campaign, and being attached to a potent offense only helps his fantasy value. It's also worth noting that he's should soon play his 20th game at shortstop (17 currently), so he'll benefit for added positional flexibility again in 2018.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman's hot bat had him batting up the order the last week or so, but he was dropped to seventh to clear the way for the returning George Springer. The 23-year-old right-hander continues to swing a hot bat, raising his season average to .276, its highest since Opening Day.

3B BOS
Bregman went 1-for-3 with two walks and three RBI in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman's triple extended his hitting streak to 10 games and gave him nine straight with an extra-base hit. The first half of the season was a lackluster one for Bregman, who found himself batting down in the order and making little impact. However, he's been a different hitter since the All-Star break, particularly in his power stroke. Fifteen of his 26 hits since the break have gone for extra bases.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run during Sunday's win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman hit a two-run triple to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth inning, and then he scored on a Juan Centeno single to clinch the victory. After a bit of a disappointing start to the campaign, Bregman has caught fire of late with a .351 batting average, 21 extra-base hits, 14 RBI, six stolen bases and 28 runs through his past 27 games. A monster finish to the season is well within reach, and considering Bregman has just 631 plate appearances in the majors, his long-term fantasy stock is pointing straight up.

3B BOS
Bregman went 3-for-4 with a double, a run, an RBI and two stolen bases Thursday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman has displayed the all-around hitting ability that made him the second overall pick in the 2015 draft of late, with nine extra-base hits, seven RBI and three steals in his past nine games. Most of that production came while batting in the bottom third of the order, but his recent hot streak has moved Bregman up to the two-hole. He's now slashing .274/.352/.464.

Since the All-Star break, the 23-year-old infielder is slashing .327/.397/.655/.1.051 over 16 games. He's helping to fill the void created when the Astros lost Carlos Correa to a thumb injury.

EDGE Analysis
Bregman, who came up through the organization as a shortstop, hasn't provided the power normally associated with a corner infielder this season, but has powered up the last week. Six of his last seven hits have gone for extra bases, including three home runs.

Bregman (hamstring) is in the lineup for Friday's series opener in Detroit, Julia Morales of AT&T Sportsnet reports.
