Houston 3B Bregman leaves game with strained quadriceps

HOUSTON — Astros third baseman Alex Bregman left a game Wednesday night against the Texas Rangers with a strained left quadriceps.

Bregman was injured in the first inning while running to first base when he grounded into a double play. He pulled up a few steps before first base and hobbled off the field after the play before heading to the clubhouse.

He was replaced by Robel GarcĂ­a to start the second inning.

Bregman is hitting .275 with seven homers and 34 RBIs this season.
