Alex Bregman to Miss Upcoming Games Due to Swollen Elbow

Astros Third Baseman Out for Weekend Series

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman will miss the upcoming weekend series against the Chicago White Sox due to a swollen elbow.

Bregman's injury is the result of sleeping on his arm awkwardly.

The Astros have not released an official timeline for Bregman's return, but he is expected to miss at least a few days.

Bregman's absence will be a significant blow to the Astros' lineup. He is one of the team's most consistent hitters and a key part of their offense.

Bregman is batting .268 with 11 home runs and 41 RBIs this season.

In other news, the Astros have recalled infielder Jeremy Pena from Triple-A Sugar Land to take Bregman's place on the roster.

The Astros are currently in first place in the AL West with a record of 52-32.

They will open their weekend series against the White Sox on Friday night at Minute Maid Park.
