Astros' Alex Bregman at third base and hitting sixth in big league debut

Houston Astros prospect Alex Bregman is starting at third base and batting sixth Monday against the New York Yankees in his big league debut.

What It Means:

Bregman, 22 years-old, has looked every bit the part of a top prospect, slashing .306/.406/.580 with seven stolen bases, 20 home runs and 61 RBI's across 80 games played between Double-A and Triple-A this season. Bregman is expected to see regular playing time for Houston between third base and left field, meaning he should be added in all standard fantasy leagues.

Bregman posted a .429 wOBA and a .263 ISO in 285 plate appearances at Double-A this season, earning the promotion to Triple-A. It's a smaller sample size (83 plate appearances), but he improved his wOBA to .433 and his ISO to .308 at the Triple-A level.
