Astros' Alex Bregman: Scratched with hand soreness
www.cbssports.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent coverage:
-
Alex Bregman was scratched from the Astros lineup with left-hand soreness after being hit by a pitch, with X-rays negative and a plan to rejoin the lineup after a day off; Jake Meyers and Mauricio Dubón handled center field and third base in the interim. This line of update appeared in CBS Sports’ summary of cautious recovery timing.[1]
-
In late 2024 and into 2025, Bregman opted out of his Red Sox deal to explore free agency again, as reported by MLB.com and echoed in various outlets tracking hot-stove activity; multiple teams were reportedly in discussions during that offseason.[2]
-
Ongoing rumor mill activity through 2025–2026 kept Bregman connected to several clubs (Cubs, Blue Jays, Diamondbacks, among others) with varying levels of reported interest; some outlets highlighted concrete suitors and contract chatter during the winter and early 2026 period.[4][5]
-
For a health update, Bregman progressed through quad rehab and was noted by MLB.com as progressing well through rehab in mid-2025, suggesting improvements in his lower-body conditioning that could influence his readiness for the season.[7]
If you’d like, I can pull the absolute latest headlines from a couple of trusted outlets (e.g., MLB.com, CBS Sports, FOX Sports) and summarize any status changes (injury updates, contract developments, or new team rumors) in a quick bullet list. I can also set up a lightweight, 1-paragraph news brief with timestamps if you want a rolling update.
