No long-term concern with elbow Bregman said Friday he slept on his elbow wrong and hopes to miss only "a few days" after tests showed no ligament damage, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Bregman was kept out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox with right elbow inflammation, giving fantasy managers quite the scare in the closing weeks of the fantasy season. The third baseman put to rest any worries of a long-term absence shortly after. Instead, Bregman is expected to only miss a few games, giving the swelling in his elbow time to subside. The 30-year-old is slashing .261/.318/.445 with 19 homers in 509 plate appearances.

Battling elbow inflammation Bregman is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox due to swelling in the back of his right elbow, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bregman has been on a tear at the plate recently, logging multiple hits in six of his last eight games, but the hot streak will be but on pause as he tends to swelling in the elbow of his throwing arm. At this point, it's unclear how severe the injury is, but expect the Astros to err on the side of caution with the 30-year-old.

Pops 15th homer Bregman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Monday against the Rangers.
Impact Bregman popped his 15th home run of the season in the third inning, which was also his third long ball in his last 10 starts. Though his power has picked up, he's otherwise struggled at the plate in that span by going 7-for-42 with three RBI and four runs scored. Overall, Bregman's performance has improved over the last two months -- he hit .310 in June and .263 in July -- but his counting stats are still lagging from his norm.

Bangs walk-off homer Bregman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run in Saturday's 7-6 win against the Dodgers.
Impact Bregman was hitless through four at-bats when he came to the plate in the top of the ninth inning, but he made the most of his final plate appearance by swatting a walk-off solo blast to left field. The homer was the second in as many days for the third baseman and extended his modest hitting streak to five games. Bregman has been quite productive for most of July, as he's reached base safely in 18 of his past 19 contests and is batting .293 with five homers, 14 RBI, 14 runs and a stolen base over that span.
