Swelling in Right Elbow Causes Absence
Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman is expected to miss this weekend's series against the Chicago White Sox due to swelling in the back of his right elbow.
Details of the Injury
According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, Bregman is out of the lineup for Friday's game due to the swelling. The injury is not considered serious, but it will keep him out of action for at least the weekend.
Impact on the Astros
Bregman is a key player for the Astros, and his absence will be a blow to the team's lineup. He is batting .261 with 19 home runs and 59 RBIs this season.
Cause of the Injury
It is believed that the swelling is caused by Bregman sleeping on his elbow. The injury is not expected to be long-term, but it will keep him out of action for the weekend.
Recovery Timeframe
Bregman is expected to miss at least the weekend series against the White Sox. His return to the lineup will depend on how quickly the swelling subsides.
