Bregman is not in the lineup Wednesday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman will receive a rare night off Wednesday and give way to Marwin Gonzalez at third base. Bregman, who's hit .279 with an .809 OPS over 144 games this season, figures to rejoin the lineup for Thursday's series finale against the White Sox.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a stolen base, an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 5-1 win over Texas.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros foundered through the month of August, finishing up their worst month of the season with an 11-17 record, but Bregman enjoyed his best month. He slashed .345/.395/.584/.979 over 28 games. The 23-year-old, who played his 23rd game at shortstop Thursday, is closing in on a 20-20 season, sitting at 16 homers and 15 steals entering the final month of the season.

Bregman went 3-for-5 with an RBI in a blowout loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman's somewhat quietly been one of the league's most productive hitters for the past month; dating back to July 30, he's posted a .357/.408/.634 batting line with six homers, 22 RBI and five steals over his last 28 games. That's helped him lift his season average to .288, and while Bregman's season-long counting stats aren't all that impressive, he's clearly developing into the high-end hitter everyone expected him to become. Even worse news for the rest of the league: He's only 23 years old.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Rays.
