Bregman (elbow) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. For the fourth straight contest, Bregman will be on the bench while he continues to work through an elbow issue, though the worst of it seems to be behind him at this point. According to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, Astros manager Joe Espada said Sunday the swelling in Bregman's right elbow is almost gone, which bodes well for the 30-year-old's chances of returning to the lineup at some point during the Astros' series in Cincinnati. With a team off day on tap Tuesday, Bregman will get an additional day to heal up before the Astros and Reds resume their three-game set Wednesday.

Kimbrel (7-5) allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one over one inning, taking the loss Saturday versus the Rockies. Kimbrel couldn't keep the game tied in the eighth inning in a game that taxed the Orioles' bullpen following Dean Kremer's exit with a forearm injury. August saw Kimbrel receive little high-leverage work, but he still struggled with seven runs allowed and an 8:5 K:BB over 8.2 innings. He's now at a 4.07 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 67:26 K:BB through 48.2 innings this season. Kimbrel won't be challenging Seranthony Dominguez for the closer role any time soon, though the Orioles' bullpen has been shaky in general for much of the second half.
