Bregman is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Rangers, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

With 12 home runs and a .401 on-base percentage on the season, Marwin Gonzalez is making it increasingly difficult for manager A.J. Hinch to justify keeping him out of the lineup, especially while Bregman (.171 average in June) continues to languish. Gonzalez's ability to play all over the diamond and in the outfield means that he won't steal at-bats exclusively from Bregman, but the young third baseman's ongoing struggles make him one of the more vulnerable players.
