Alex Bregman Gets A Day Off

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: Minnesota third baseman Miguel Sano had been slumping coming out of the All-Star break, but even after waking back up last week he still remains criminally under-owned at only 33%.
