Status quo entering new week Houston general manager James Click said Sunday the team remains unsure when Bregman (quadriceps) will resume his rehab assignment at Triple-A Sugar Land, Danielle Lerner of the Ho...
Impact Click echoed comments of manager Dusty Baker, who on Friday said he was unsure when the third baseman would resume playing in games. "We determined that the best course of action was to do a lot of work that didn't involve playing in games," Click said. "Right now we're making sure he's good to go at full speed with his legs fully underneath him. Once we feel like that's been accomplished we'll move onto hitting." Bregman worked out over the weekend and called Saturday's session his "best day yet," but the Astros remain cautious. Click suggested there's a mental component to the process, where Bregman needs to feel confident the muscles don't seize up on him.

Impact At this point, it seems like it would be fortunate if Bregman were able to rejoin the big club sometime next week, and a late-August return seems more realistic. He is working out, but was originally slated to return to the Triple-A lineup Friday, but that was put on hold.

Absent from Triple-A lineup Bregman (hamstring) is not in the Triple-A lineup Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Bregman was supposed to be resuming his rehab assignment Friday, but it seems like he isn't physically ready to do so. It's still possible he could be activated from the injured list sometime next week, but there is no official reason why he hasn't resumed his rehab assignment.

Another nine innings Saturday Bregman (quadriceps) started at third base and went 1-for-5 with a double and a walk for Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday.
Impact For the second day in a row, Bregman played in the field for nine innings, which is an indication he's nearing a return to Houston. The latest plan revealed by the team was that Bregman would remain with the Skeeters through the weekend before a decision is made about his next step. The Astros are off Monday, so Bregman could conceivably return Tuesday at home against Colorado.

Rehab through weekend Bregman (quadriceps) will continue his rehab at Triple-A Sugar Land through the weekend, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Bregman, who missed some time due to a hamstring issue earlier this week, participated in the Skeeters' suspended game Wednesday, going 1-for-2 with a double. Houston general manager James Click was encouraged by how he ran the bases, but the team wants to make sure he's fully healthy before bringing him back to the majors -- the hamstring injury set back his base-running progress. Bregman has missed Houston's last 39 games due to the quad.
