Alex Bregman, the Astros' third baseman, will likely miss the entire weekend series against the White Sox due to a right elbow injury despite no structural damage being found.
The Astros are deciding not to place Bregman on the injured list for now, indicating they believe he might return before a longer absence becomes necessary.
Rookie infielder Shay Whitcomb, batting .293 with 25 home runs and 91 RBIs at Triple-A, is expected to be recalled to help fill the gap left by Bregman.
Bregman's current batting average of .261 and OPS of .764 marks the lowest performance of his nine-year career, which has been a concern for the Astros.
