Bregman went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman got the Astros on the board with a two-run blast off Ryne Nelson in the fourth but was held quiet the rest of the night. The long ball was his first since Aug. 25 and he's now driven in four runs over the last two games after combining for just four RBI total over his previous 15 games. For the year, Bregman is slashing .259/.315/.447 with 22 homers, 65 RBI, 70 runs, three steals and a 38:77 BB:K in 562 plate appearances.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a walk Saturday against Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman didn't hit a ball out of the infield but managed a productive game. He's battled elbow soreness since Aug. 16 and has been in and out of the lineup, though his performance hasn't suffered significantly. Across 13 games and 48 at-bats in that span, Bregman has homered twice with four RBI and four runs scored while hitting .250.

Bregman is not in Friday's lineup against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

In Kyle Tucker's (shin) first game back, Bregman will get a day off. Bregman returned Wednesday after missing four games with an elbow injury, and perhaps he will need the occasional maintenance day down the stretch.

Bregman went 1-for-2 with a double and a run scored Wednesday against the Reds.

Bregman (elbow) will start at third base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game versus the Reds, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

A nagging right elbow issue had caused Bregman to miss the previous four games and nine contests in total since mid-August. He's feeling well enough to give it a go Wednesday, and it's a good sign that he's playing third base rather than being used at designated hitter.

Bregman (elbow) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the fourth straight contest, Bregman will be on the bench while he continues to work through an elbow issue, though the worst of it seems to be behind him at this point. According to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, Astros manager Joe Espada said Sunday the swelling in Bregman's right elbow is almost gone, which bodes well for the 30-year-old's chances of returning to the lineup at some point during the Astros' series in Cincinnati. With a team off day on tap Tuesday, Bregman will get an additional day to heal up before the Astros and Reds resume their three-game set Wednesday.

Bregman (elbow) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman will stay on the bench for a third straight game as he continues to nurse a sore elbow. The 30-year-old missed a handful of games in mid-August due to the elbow issue, and he'll likely need to contend with the injury for the rest of the season. Shay Whitcomb is starting at third base Sunday, but Bregman should be back in action before long. In fact, manager Joe Espada told Brian McTaggart of MLB.com that the swelling in Bregman's elbow has almost dissipated, and the 30-year-old might be available off the bench Sunday.

Bregman (elbow) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The third baseman will miss a second consecutive start due to elbow soreness, with Mauricio Dubon once again filling in at the hot corner. Bregman has been bothered by the elbow throughout August -- it cost him five games earlier in the month -- but there has been nothing to suggest an IL move will be necessary.

Manager Joe Espada said that Bregman was not included in Friday's lineup against Kansas City due to elbow soreness, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman missed five games in August due to swelling in his right elbow, though he has started in each of the Astros' last nine games. It's unclear if the third baseman will be available off the bench for Friday's contest. Over the nine games since his return, Bregman has gone 9-for-36 with two solo home runs.
