Alex Bregman - Scratched from Triple-A lineupBregman (quadriceps/hamstring) was scratched from Monday's lineup at Triple-A Sugar Land, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

ImpactBregman exited Sunday's rehab game due to right hamstring tightness, and he'll be out of the lineup for at least one game while he recovers. The 27-year-old had appeared in five rehab games prior to Sunday's injury, so he's approaching his return to the major-league roster as long as his recent injury doesn't present a major setback in his recovery process. According to Jake Kaplan of The Athletic, Bregman is scheduled to run Monday, and after that the next step in his rehab program will be determined.

Tyler Ivey - Shuttled to 60-day ILThe Astros transferred Ivey (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Monday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

ImpactThe transaction clears up a 40-man roster spot for utility man Jacob Wilson, whom Houston claimed off waivers from Oakland in a corresponding move. Ivey has already been ruled out for the remainder of the season after he was diagnosed with a nerve issue in his right elbow following his big-league debut May 21, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his timeline for a return.

Jacob Wilson - Claimed by HoustonThe Astros claimed Wilson off waivers Monday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

ImpactThe 31-year-old minor-league journeyman reached the majors for the first time in early July, appearing in six games for Oakland while going 1-for-7 at the plate before he was designated for assignment. Though Wilson will reclaim a 40-man roster spot and he joins Houston, he'll begin his tenure in the new organization at Triple-A Sugar Land. He could be the next man up for a promotion if Houston requires an extra infielder at any point over the final two months of the season.
