Bregman is out of the lineup Friday against the Angels, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman also sat out Sunday, and he has now sat out two of the past five games after resting just once in the first 25 games. That said, Bregman has been starting to find a groove lately -- although he is hitting just .265/.360/.316, he is working on a seven-game hitting streak and has drawn three walks over his past four games. His power has yet to show up, but slugging numbers tend to be the slowest to stabilize -- he's just one hot week away from getting back to the .478 slugging percentage he posted in 2016.
