On Thursday, June 17th, 2021 the Houston Astros have decided to place their star third baseman / shortstop and World Series champion, Alex Bregman, on Major League Baseball’s 10 – day injured list due to Bregman’s strained left quadriceps. This may prove to be a devastating blow to the player roster of the Houston Astros. Alex is by far one of the best hitters for the Houston Astros team this season as well as one of their best infielders and base runners.
The Houston Astros and Bregman must both hope that this strain to Bregman’s left quadriceps not a serious injury that will keep him off the field for the Houston Astros for over two weeks’ time. Currently the Houston Astros are in second place in the highly competitive American League West division of Major League Baseball. The Astros will definitely be depending on Alex in order to make a push to get into the 2021 MLB postseason this year, and make a run at the 2021 World Series with the Houston Astros.
The Cause of the Injury to Alex Bregman’s Strained Left Quadriceps
On Wednesday, June 16th, 2021 during the ball game between the Texas Rangers and the Houston Astros, Alex Bregman strained his left quadriceps after putting the ball in play through the infield and trying to run out a double play at first base in the first inning of this heated rivalry big – league game. Bregman ended up having to pull up short of first base by a few steps as he obviously suffered a lower – body injury.
Alex then hobbled off of the field at Minute Maid Park located in Houston, Texas, and Bregman headed directly in to the home clubhouse in order to be evaluated by the medical staff there at the stadium. The Houston Astros defeated the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night with a final score of 8 to 4, but that was the last thing on the mind of the Houston Astros’ manager, Dusty Baker, as he knows how important Bregman is in the Astros’ daily starting line – up. Currently there is no designated timetable for Alex to return to game action as more testing and evaluations are coming from the Houston Astros regarding the condition of their MLB All – Star and highly – talented third baseman / shortstop.
“We really don’t know,” the Houston Astros manager, Dusty Baker, explained to the media circuit after the game on Wednesday night. “He’s being evaluated by doctors today. Even when they do tell us, to tell you how long it’s going to be, it’s merely a guess.”
Replacement for Alex Bregman in the Houston Astros’ Line – Up
In order for the Houston Astros to fill Bregman’s roster spot on the team they have decided to recall Garrett Stubbs from the Houston Astros’ Triple – A affiliate in the Sugar Land Skeeters. Stubbs is currently playing the catcher’s position, but only time will tell how Baker and the Astros choose to utilize Garrett over the next week or so if he lasts that long in the majors.
