Bregman said he felt better Wednesday, a day after his hamstring tightened up while he rounded second base on the way to a triple, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman described his removal from Tuesday's game as precautionary, and the team will reassess his availability for Friday's series-opener in Detroit following Thursday's day off.

Moncada went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored during Wednesday's loss to the Cubs.

While Moncada is just 3-for-23 this season, two of his hits have gone for extra bases, and there is no denying his upside. It could be a rocky few months in 2017, but keeper/dynasty owners should definitely remain patient. Despite the potential, there's no guarantee that Moncada will be a universal fantasy asset this year, though.

Devers went 2-for-4 with his first big-league home run against Seattle on Wednesday.

It won't be his last MLB homer, that's for sure, but it could be his last for a little while, as the Red Sox just acquired Eduardo Nunez, who's likely to take over at third base on an everyday basis -- starting Friday against Kansas City. That'll probably ticket the 20-year-old Devers back to Triple-A, as it's hard to imagine how the Red Sox will be able to keep him in the lineup with Nunez in the fold, but no official decision has yet been made on that front.

Urshela is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Angels.

Urshela looks like he'll continue to handle a near-everyday role while Jason Kipnis (hamstring) remains sidelined, but he'll take a seat following four consecutive starts. Jose Ramirez will move back over from the keystone to third base while Erik Gonzalez covers second.

Bregman (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

It was expected that manager A.J. Hinch would give the third baseman a day off after leaving Tuesday's contest with right hamstring tightness, and this will provide Bregman with more time to rest, especially with Thursday's scheduled off-day looming. In his place, Yulieski Gurriel draws the start at third for the series finale. Bregman should be considered day-to-day for Friday's game, but he will likely return to the lineup for the opener against Detroit.

Segura went 1-for-5 with a game-winning RBI infield single and two walks in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.

The prolific leadoff man was the hero on the night when he snapped a 5-5 tie with his 13th-inning hit. Segura now sports a .311/.344/.422 line in July that includes eight extra-base hits (seven doubles, one home run) and nine RBI.

Devers could be headed back to Triple-A Pawtucket after the Red Sox acquired Eduardo Nunez from the Giants, Chad Jennings of the Boston Herald reports.

It would certainly be unusual for a team to call up its top prospect only to send him down a few days later, but president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski left open that possibility, saying Boston's decision-makers will "wait and handle that question" about who's sent down to make room for Nunez. Even if Devers remains in Boston, the Nunez arrival is expected to impact the rookie's playing time. Dombrowski said Nunez should get regular playing time, and we doubt that will come at the expense of either shortstop Xander Bogaerts or second baseman Dustin Pedroia. Devers had a quiet, but effective MLB debut Tuesday against the Mariners, going 0-for-4 with two walks and a run scored.

Devers went 0-for-4 with two walks, a run and a strikeout in his MLB debut Tuesday against the Mariners.

The rookie third baseman has shown the ability to take a walk in the minors, which will serve him well in the big leagues. He's just 20 years old, so fantasy owners should keep their expectations in check, but Devers has rightly created a lot of excitement with his performance in Double-A and Triple-A this season. Even though he's slated to start out in a platoon role, he merits speculative pickups across the fantasy universe.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Bregman (hamstring) is day-to-day, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman exited Tuesday's game early with right hamstring tightness but doesn't currently project to need a trip to the disabled list. It seems likely that the Astros will rest Bregman through their off day Thursday with the hopes of him returning to the lineup Friday against the Tigers.

Bregman exited Tuesday's game against the Phillies early with right hamstring tightness, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

A day after George Springer was forced to exit with quad discomfort, the Astros are now without the services of Bregman for the reminader of Tuesday's contest. The severity of the injury is not yet known, but that information should become available shortly. He'll be considered day-to-day for the time being.
