Alex Bregman went 3-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in the Astros' 5-2 win over the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included three hits, which helped bolster his season batting average and contributed significantly to the team's victory. With a season batting average now sitting at .260 and a solid wOBA of .329, Bregman continues to be a reliable fantasy option, especially in leagues that value extra-base hits. His consistent ability to drive in runs (75 RBI this season) and hit for moderate power (26 homers) should keep him firmly in fantasy lineups as a starting third baseman. However, his relatively low BABIP of .264 suggests some room for improvement in batting average, possibly hinting at better days ahead if his luck on balls in play improves.
