Bregman will start at third base for Double-A Corpus Christi on Friday, the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is certainly an interesting development, as third base has been a black hole for the major league team and Bregman has been raking with the Double-A affiliate to this point (.311/.414/.662, 10:7 BB:K) while playing exclusively at shortstop. General manager Jeff Luhnow declined to say how often Bregman will play third moving forward, but he did gush some about the 22-year-old on Friday. "[Bregman's] been terrific," Luhnow said. "He's exceeded my expectations, which were high, for him this season, and I think he's put himself into consideration to quite frankly maybe help our club this year."
