Bregman has been dealing with swelling in his right elbow

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman is unlikely to play this weekend against the Chicago White Sox due to swelling in his right elbow.

Bregman suffered the injury on a swing during Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

The Astros are scheduled to host the White Sox for a three-game series at Minute Maid Park beginning on Friday night.

Bregman is a key part of the Astros' offense

Bregman is one of the Astros' most productive hitters, batting .259 with 21 home runs and 63 RBIs this season.

He is also a Gold Glove winner at third base.

The Astros are currently in first place in the American League West, but they are just one game ahead of the Oakland Athletics.
