Alex Bregman is expected to rejoin the Astros' starting lineup soon, possibly as early as Friday when Houston begins a four-game series against the Los Angeles Angels at Anaheim, Calif.
Bregman has been out since Aug. 19 with a strained right hamstring.
Hamstrings have caused recurring issues for him over the past few years. He strained the same hamstring in April 2019, leading to him missing two games, and he missed two weeks with a strained hamstring in 2016.
Bregman has been working out at Minute Maid Park in Houston and is traveling with the team to Anaheim.
