Bregman (hamstring) may be shut down for the remainder of the season, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager A.J. Hinch told reporters Friday that Bregman would have immediately been placed on the DL if his injury occurred in any month but September, which obviously does not bode well for the top prospect's chances at getting back on the field this season. Yulieski Gurriel is the logical stopgap at third while Bregman is sidelined, but losing Bregman is a crushing blow to the Astros overall. Bregman got off to a famously slow start at the dish upon arriving to the show, but he slashed .319/.362/.639 with eight home runs and 28 RBI in his last month's worth of games.
