Alex Bregman News
Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (quad) said he expects to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land within "the next day or two," according to Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle. Bregman has been sidelined for nearly a month and a half now with a strained quadriceps, and he had reportedly been close to a rehab assignment earlier this month but so far has not begun one. Hopefully Bregman will actually get to start the rehab assignment this week, as managers anxiously await the return of his bat to their lineup after his start to the season where he's hitting .275 with a .787 OPS, seven homers, 34 RBI and 37 runs scored across 59 games.
Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (quadriceps) ran the bases at high intensity on Tuesday and said afterward that he felt great. Bregman will repeat the process a few more times, which should be the last hurdle before he's cleared for a minor league rehab assignment. He estimated that he'll need somewhere between 15 to 30 at-bats once he's on a rehab assignment, and a lot will depend on how much running he gets in those at-bats. The 27-year-old star third baseman is nearing a return, and he needs to be owned in all fantasy leagues, as he has the potential to be a difference-maker for fantasy squads to close out the second half of the season. Bregman was hitting .275/.359/.428 with seven home runs, 37 runs and 34 RBI before his injury. Abraham Toro has been holding down the fort at third base in Bregman's absence, but he's hitting just .226 (21-for-93) with four home runs and 17 RBI.
Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (quadriceps) has yet to begin a rehab assignment as he continues to work his way back from his strained left quadriceps. He was supposed to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land last week, but the team decided to pull back and keep him in Houston instead. It's likely that his rehab stint at Triple-A will begin at some point this next week. His return to the majors will likely be right at the end of this month or right at the start of August. Until then, Abraham Toro should continue to get the majority of the starts at third base for the Astros.

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman was one of the biggest fantasy busts of 2020. Over 42 games last year, he slashed .242/.350/.451 with only six home runs, 22 RBI, and 19 runs. He was a consensus top-10 pick going into 2020 and now he's fallen outside of the top 30 in many preseason rankings. Bregman wasn't making the hard contact we're used to seeing from him last year. He saw his hard-hit rate drop from 38% in 2019 to 33.6% last year while his barrel rate took a dip from 4.8% in 2019 to 3.9% last year. He maintained his solid plate discipline in 2020 with a 14.4% strikeout rate and a 13.3% walk rate. Yet those clips were still inferior plate discipline numbers to 2019 when he had a 12% strikeout rate and a 17.2% walk rate. Bregman has shown some streaky play throughout his career and if we had a full 162-game season in 2020, we likely would have seen the best version of Bregman emerge through an extended stretch at some point. He showed his downside risk in 2020, but don't forget the upside potential he possesses. He's just a year removed from an MVP-caliber 2019 campaign in which he slashed .296/.423/.592 with 41 home runs, 112 RBI and 122 runs. Bregman is a great target in the third round or later. While he may be streaky and fail to reach his gaudy 2019 numbers, the upside potential is a player who can return a mid-first round value.
