Valbuena will have his hamstring examined Wednesday to decide if surgery will be necessary, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Valbuena, who's been out since July 27, is entertaining the option of undergoing season ending surgery after recently experiencing a setback in his rehab process. Valbuena's course of action should be known shortly after his examination Wednesday. During his absence, look for Alex Bregman and the newly-called up Yulieski Gurriel to share time at third base.
