Nearing rehab assignment Bregman (quadriceps) said he expects to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land in mid-July, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Bregman is aiming to play for the Skeeters during their trip to Albuquerque, which runs from July 15-20. Thus, an activation near the end of the month remains realistic for Bregman, who's been sidelined by a left quadriceps strain since June 17.

Slated to hit Wednesday Bregman (quadriceps) will hit on the field ahead of Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Bregman began light running at the beginning of July, and he'll take another significant step in his recovery by hitting Wednesday. While the 27-year-old has indicated that he's way ahead of schedule in his recovery timetable, he won't return until sometime after the All-Star break.

Gives positive update Tuesday Bregman said Tuesday that his ultrasound on his strained left quad "went great" and that he is "way ahead of schedule" in his return timeline, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Manager Dusty Baker said earlier Tuesday that he didn't expect Bregman to return for at least another month. The third baseman's own update seems to contradict that of the skipper, as being ahead of schedule would seem to indicate Bregman could be activated sometime in mid-to-late July. It's hard to know who's word holds more weight at this point, but Bregman's timeline will likely be clarified before too long.
JUNE 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Not close to returning Astros manager Dusty Baker said Monday that he doesn't expect Bregman (quadriceps) to return for at least a month, SportsTalk 790 Houston reports.
Impact This certainly isn't a positive update for Bregman, as last week it was reported that he could be back in two or three weeks. It's not entirely clear if the third baseman suffered some sort of setback that led to the longer return timeline, but based on Baker's update, Bregman appears likely to miss the entire month of July. Abraham Toro should continue to serve as the primary third baseman in Bregman's absence.
