Bregman (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Bregman will hit the bench for a fourth straight game due to swelling in the back of his right elbow. According to MLB.com, manager Joe Espada said that Bregman has resumed hitting in the batting cage and taking ground balls, but Rome speculates that the third baseman could nonetheless remain out of the lineup until the beginning of the Astros' road trip Thursday in Baltimore. Shay Whitcomb will get another start at third base Monday in place of Bregman.
