Clear sailing?

WeatherMap: Week 7 football weather impacts

After a somewhat rough week in weather across parts of the country, things should be by and large cleared out for Sunday. Problem areas should be confined to Washington - both the city and the state. A tropical storm will be moving through Florida and up the east coast this weekend which could potentially make things interesting in Washington DC on Sunday. Impacts will depend on how close to the coast the storm is and how organized it remains. I will be providing an update on my twitter (@stephenuzick) Sunday morning, so be sure to check in. On the other side of the country a pacific storm system will be moving into the northwest bringing rain to Seattle.

See the map above for the full breakdown on all the outdoor games this week.

Third baseman Alex Bregman had surgery to remove a bone chip from his right elbow.

Health

Agent Scott Boras revealed the operation during a news conference Wednesday at the general managers meetings.

“He’s had his procedure. He’s going to be back swinging here in a few weeks, so he’s all through that process,” Boras said.

The Houston Astros, Bregman's former team, said any details had to come from Boras.

Bregman became a free agent last Thursday, after the expiration of a $100 million, five-year deal agreed to in March 2019 that covered 2020-24. The 30-year-old hit .260 with 26 homers and 75 RBIs and has a .272 career average with 191 homers and 663 RBIs in nine big league seasons, all with the Astros.

Position versatility

Boras said Bregman is willing to move to second base. The two-time All-Star has played third exclusively since 2020.

With Bregman willing to play second base, more teams could have interest in his services.
