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.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run to account for the Astros' lone run in Sunday's 13-1 loss to the Tigers.
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 was held out of Wednesday's game after leaving the contest Tuesday with right hamstring tightness. The third baseman used Thursday's off day to recover, and slides back into his typical position manning the hot corner while batting eighth for Friday's outing.

Bregman (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was expected that manager A.J. Hinch would give the third baseman a day off after leaving Tuesday's contest with right hamstring tightness, and this will provide Bregman with more time to rest, especially with Thursday's scheduled off day looming. In his place, Yulieski Gurriel draws the start at third for the series finale. Bregman should be considered day-to-day for Friday's game, but he will likely return to the lineup for the opener against Detroit.

Manager A.J. Hinch reported Tuesday that Bregman is day-to-day with his hamstring injury, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bregman exited Tuesday's game early with right hamstring tightness but doesn't currently project to need a trip to the disabled list. It seems likely that the Astros will rest Bregman through their off day Thursday with the hopes of him returning to the lineup Friday against the Tigers.
