Astros GM Jeff Luhnow has hinted in recent days that Bregman could be promoted to Triple-A Fresno later this week, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Bregman is scheduled to play in the Texas League All-Star Game on Tuesday, after which the Astros may formally graduate him to the next level. With a .410 on-base percentage to go with 14 homers and 45 RBI across 233 at-bats at Double-A Corpus Christi, Bregman seemingly has little left to prove in the Texas League and appears ready to test himself against better competition. The Astros haven't ruled out the possibility of Bregman joining the big club this season, but that likely wouldn't happen until after the All-Star break.
