Astros' Alex Bregman begins road back to team after injury
Alex Bregman is a sorely missed part of the Astros' lineup, but we now know about the first steps to get him back on the field.

HOUSTON, Texas -- Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman, who hasn't played since June 16 because of a left quadriceps strain, is returning to the team Wednesday.



"Hey y'all... it's been a while.... see y'all this afternoon," Bregman posted on Twitter.





The Astros, who have a 4-game lead over Oakland in the American League West, play the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.



Bregman worked out at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday after playing a rehabilitation game for Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday night.



He is hitting .275 with seven homers and 34 RBIs in 59 games this season.
