Bregman gets crash course in LF at Minute Maid

HOUSTON -- Alex Bregman's next stop could be in left field.

Bregman, the Astros' top prospect who made his debut Monday night at third base, worked out in left field with coach Gary Pettis -- a five-time Gold Glove winner -- prior to batting practice Tuesday. Bregman was in the lineup at designated hitter against the Yankees, and manager A.J. Hinch said he will play the field in Wednesday's series finale, but didn't say at which position.

Bregman, a shortstop who's expected to play third base, DH and left field mostly for the Astros, squeezed in three games in left last week at Triple-A Fresno in his only action in the outfield since he was drafted No.
