Alex Bregman Injury: Astros Third Baseman Likely to Miss Weekend Series

What's the Latest on Alex Bregman's Injury?

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman is likely to miss all three games of a weekend home series against the Chicago White Sox with a right elbow injury.

Bregman underwent an MRI on Friday that showed no structural damage, and the team has elected not to put the veteran on the injured list for now.

Bregman described the injury as swelling in his right elbow.

When Will Alex Bregman Return?

The Astros have not announced a timetable for Bregman's return, but he is expected to miss the entire weekend series against the White Sox.

How Will the Astros Replace Alex Bregman?

With Bregman out, the Astros are likely to use a combination of players to fill in at third base.

Abraham Toro and Yuli Gurriel are the most likely candidates to start at third base in Bregman's absence.

What Does This Mean for the Astros?

Bregman's injury is a blow to the Astros, who are already without shortstop Jeremy Pena and outfielder Michael Brantley due to injuries.

The Astros are hoping that Bregman's injury is not serious and that he will be able to return to the lineup soon.
