Houston's Alex Bregman in the starting lineup on Thursday

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman is in the starting lineup against the Oakland Athletics on Thursday.

What It Means:

Bregman got the night off on Wednesday, but he'll be back at the hot corner this afternoon while Marwin Gonzalez slides over to first base and Yuli Gurriel gets the night off. Bregman will bat eighth against A's righty Daniel Gossett.

Bregman has a shaky .300 wOBA against right-handed pitching in 2017, and even with the Astros' strong 5.60 implied total he doesn't offer much fantasy value while batting near the bottom of the order.
