Houston Astros fans got some very exciting news on Saturday as third baseman Alex Bregman announced that he would be headed to start his rehab assignment with the Triple-A minor league Sugar Land Skeeters within the next couple of days.

“After batting practice, I am going to map out my playing schedule for the rehab assignment and will be starting the rehab assignment in the next day or two,” said Bregman.

The team has been without his services since June 16 when he strained his left quadricep muscle running the bases against the Texas Rangers. The 2019 All-Star has been working vigorously to rejoin his teammates. He has been taking active batting practice and has even run the base path at almost full speed.

Playing baseball again and getting back on the field to help the Astros is very important to him and he understands he must be very careful during his time with the Skeeters.

“The biggest thing is just getting the volume of playing in games,” said Bregman who wants to get anywhere from 10-15 at-bats while he is rehabbing. “I will get a lot of at-bats and a lot of games under my belt and get ready to rejoin the boys.”

Bregman may be able to join the team after the Astros come off a brutal West Coast trip where they will face the Seattle Mariner, San Francisco Giants, and Los Angeles Dodgers.
