Bregman will return to the lineup Thursday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Bregman was given the night off Wednesday as a way to reboot a dormant bat. Since the first four-hit game of his career April 11 against the Twins, the young third baseman had gone 3-for-21. A.J. Hinch also dropped him from second to fifth in the batting order Tuesday, so the manager is trying to get him on track. Bregman is hitting .214 through 18 games.
