Due to a bad night, Alex Bregman will likely miss the entire weekend.

The Astros’ star third baseman is suffering from a swollen elbow after sleeping in an awkward position on his arm “a few days ago,” according to a report from The Athletic on Friday.

An MRI scan showed no damage to his elbow, but he will still take some time off to recover from the injury.

“I’m going to have to take a few days off,” Bregman said. “Obviously, it’s a shame because I’m swinging the club well right now… It’s not that I can’t play anymore, I just have to nip it in the bud.”

Bregman, a two-time All-Star, is having a bad year by his standards, but has improved significantly since his miserable start.

After hitting just .216/.283/.294 with one home run through April, Bregman has hit .274/.328/.488 with 18 home runs since the start of the season in May.

Aside from a hamstring injury that plagued him from 2020 to 2021, the 30-year-old Bregman has been on the field for Houston consistently throughout his nine-year career, playing 150 or more games in five of the last seven seasons since his abbreviated rookie year in 2016.

Bregman will become a free agent in the offseason and is considered one of the most sought-after outfield players on the market.

The Astros recovered from a rocky start when Bregman got going.

Houston goes into Friday’s game with a 65-55 record, three games ahead of the Mariners in the American League West.

The Astros are looking to make their eighth consecutive ALCS appearance and win their third World Series since 2017.
