Likely out through road trip Bregman (COVID-19 protocols) is unlikely to return during the Astros' current five-game road trip, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bregman was one of five Astros who were placed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday. While it's not yet clear whether Bregman has tested positive for the virus, he'll likely miss at least the next five games due to the league's health and safety protocols. Abraham Toro should continue to serve as the team's primary third baseman until Bregman is cleared to return.

Placed on COVID IL The Astros placed Bregman on the injured list Wednesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Bregman was one of five players Houston placed on the IL on Wednesday without an injury designation, indicating that each member of the quintet has been ruled out due to COVID-19-related protocols. No reports have come out yet specifying whether Bregman (or any of the other four Astros) tested positive for the virus, or if the players in question have been ruled out through contact tracing. Aledmys Diaz or Abraham Toro will likely see most of the action at third base while Bregman is sidelined.

Removed from blowout loss Bregman was removed from Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Tigers prior to the seventh inning, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact At the time of Bregman's removal, the Astros were down 7-1 and manager Dusty Baker opted to protect the third baseman who dealt with hamstring injuries during spring training. The manager has held Bregman out of two regular-season games thus far as a protective measure and cited "sore legs" as a reason for one of them. "What went into my decision was the score," Baker said about removing Bregman, Michael Brantley and Jose Altuve late in the game. "Brantley wasn't feeling that well and Bregman, I had to protect his legs. That's something that might be going on all year." Prior to Tuesday's game, Bregman told Rome that he's trending in the right direction in his buildup from the hamstring issues that bothered him this spring.
