Bregman is out of the lineup Friday against the Angels, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Bregman has now sat out two of the last five games after resting just once in the first 25 games. That said, he has been starting to find a groove lately -- although he is hitting just .265/.360/.316, he is working on a seven-game hitting streak and has drawn three walks over his last four games. His power has yet to show up, but slugging numbers tend to be the slowest to stabilize, and he's just one hot week away from getting back to the .478 slugging percentage he posted in 2016.
