The Astros selected Bregman second overall in the 2015 MLB Draft and he debuted in 2016 at 22.

BOSTON — Alex Bregman believes he could skip a minor-league rehab assignment and be back in Boston’s lineup before the All-Star break. The two-time All-Star third baseman, who has been sidelined since May 24 with a strained right quad, said there’s even a chance his return could happen by the end of this week.

Skenes has been a big leaguer for two years and he’s been an All-Star both seasons. Skenes has been arguably the best pitcher in baseball with a 1.94 ERA, lowest in the NL among starters, and 125 strikeouts against 30 walks. He has a WHIP of 0.92 in 116 innings and all that hard work has earned him four (4) wins this season.
