A Bad Night's Sleep Will Likely Keep Alex Bregman Out for the Weekend

Astros Star Out After Rough Night

Houston Astros' slugging third baseman, Alex Bregman, is expected to miss the weekend games due to a swollen left hamstring.

Bregman suffered the injury during Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

The Injury

Bregman injured his hamstring while attempting to steal second base in the fifth inning.

He immediately grabbed at the back of his leg and was helped off the field by trainers.

An MRI confirmed the hamstring strain, and Bregman is now listed as day-to-day.

The Impact

Bregman's absence is a significant blow to the Astros, who are currently in a tight race for the American League West division title.

Bregman is one of the team's best hitters, and his absence will be felt in the lineup.

The Astros will likely call up infielder J.J. Matijevic from Triple-A Sugar Land to take Bregman's place on the roster.

The Outlook

Bregman is expected to miss at least the next two games, and possibly more depending on the severity of the injury.

The Astros are hopeful that Bregman will be able to return to the lineup next week.

In the meantime, the team will need to find a way to replace his production in the lineup.
