Bregman is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman, who wasted no time assaulting opposing pitchers upon arriving at Double-A and Triple-A, has found the feat harder to duplicate against big league pitching. He is 1-for-32 to start his career, so it's understandable that the Astros will give him a day to clear his head. Marwin Gonzalez will man third base and hit second Wednesday.

Bregman will make his fourth straight start at third base Sunday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman was expected to see time at multiple positions after being recalled from Triple-A Fresno on Monday, but with Luis Valbuena (hamstring) landing on the DL on Friday, the highly-touted prospect should be in line for regular duties at third base. The 22-year-old enters Sunday's game still searching for his first big-league hit, as he's gone 0-for-17 in his five games to date.

Bregman went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in his MLB debut Monday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Yankees starter Michael Pineda, along with relievers Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller, combined to strike out 12 Astros in their 2-1 win. Bregman, who hit sixth in the lineup Monday, may soon move up to second in the batting order to bridge the gap between George Springer and Jose Altuve. That could happen as early as Tuesday when the Astros face southpaw C.C. Sabathia.

Bregman will start at third base and bat sixth in his MLB debut Monday against the Yankees, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Luis Valbuena will shift over to first base while Marwin Gonzalez (ankle) takes a seat for the Astros' series opener against the Yankees. Bregman's arrival is expected to give Houston's offense a boost after he hit .306/.406/.580 with 20 home runs, 61 RBI, seven steals and a 47:38 BB:K in 80 games between Double-A Corpus Christi and Triple-A Fresno.

Bregman will be recalled prior to Monday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

A natural shortstop, Bregman has recently seen some time at third base and in left field, possibly preparing him for a role as an everyday utility player. The 22-year-old has tallied 20 home runs and seven stolen bases between Double-A and Triple-A this season, and should provide an added offensive presence in the Astros' everyday lineup moving forward. Danny Worth was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Bregman may get a start in left field Wednesday for Triple-A Fresno, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros are clearly working on ways to get Bregman comfortable all over the diamond, as he received his first Triple-A start at third base Tuesday. A shortstop by trade, he is quick and agile enough and has the instincts to handle pretty much any position other than catcher, and perhaps center field, so the Astros should have no problem squeezing him into the lineup almost every day once he receives his long awaited call-up to the big leagues.

Bregman will make his Triple-A debut at third base Tuesday against Triple-A Round Rock.

EDGE Analysis

A promotion to the big leagues figures to be in the cards for Bregman in a matter of days, not weeks, as he now has six homers in 13 games at Triple-A, and boasts a 1.010 OPS on the season across 75 games at Double-A and Triple-A. With the Astros signing star Cuban 2B/3B Yulieski Gurriel, it will be interesting to see how the infield is deployed when both Bregman and Gurriel are in the fold, but the Astros will still find a way to get Bregman in the lineup almost every day upon his call-up.

A.J. Hinch said that Bregman will not be joining the Astros when they head to Seattle to face the Mariners on Friday, MLB Network Radio reports

EDGE Analysis

Reports surfaced over the past few days that Bregman might join the Astros right after the All-Star break, but Hinch quickly erased those rumors. Hinch did add that Bregman could help the Astros down the stretch. Bregman will report back to Triple-A Fresno where he has played only eight games this season.

Bregman continued his hot ways, going 3-5 with a single, double and triple for team USA at the All-Star Futures game on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

There is not much else Bregman has to prove to the Astros at this point. Since being called up to Triple-A Fresno, he's hit .389/.421/.889 with five home runs and 14 RBI in only 36 at-bats. The only thing keeping Bregman in the minors at this point is the recent resurgence of current Houston third baseman Luis Valubena. Once Valbuena begins to cool off, expect Bregman to get the call and supplant Valbuena as the everyday player at the hot corner.

Bregman has played solely shortstop since being promoted to Triple-A, as the Astros want him to feel comfortable against the pitching at the new level without having to worry about learning a new position at the same time, the Houston Chronicle's Jake Kaplan reports.

EDGE Analysis

General manager Jeff Luhnow admitted that Bregman will move to third base for Triple-A Fresno in the near future, as he has clearly had little trouble adjusting to the pitching at the highest level of the minors. He is slashing .400/.438/.900 with four homers in 30 at-bats since the promotion, and his season line across Double-A and Triple-A is a preposterous .308/.418/.598. It's a matter of when, not if, the Astros will promote Bregman to the big leagues, so he should be rostered in most formats at this point.
