Alex Bregman to Miss Weekend Series Due to Elbow Swelling
Astros Third Baseman Out With Injury
Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman will miss this weekend's series against the Chicago White Sox due to swelling in his right elbow, according to Chandler Rome of The Houston Chronicle.
Bregman's Injury Status
Bregman was initially scratched from Friday night's game against the White Sox, and the team announced that he is unlikely to play on Saturday and Sunday as well.
The two-time All-Star is batting .273 with 19 home runs and 59 RBIs in 116 games this season.
Impact on the Astros
Bregman's absence is a significant blow to the Astros' lineup, as he is one of their most consistent hitters.
The Astros will likely use utility player Aledmys Diaz at third base in Bregman's place.
Bregman's Career Stats
Bregman, 28, has a career batting average of .273 with 184 home runs and 647 RBIs in 851 games.
He was named to the American League All-Star team in 2018 and 2019 and won the Silver Slugger Award at third base in 2019.
