The Chicago Cubs secured a spot in the 2026 MLB postseason following a 9-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. While celebrating their win, it appeared that the Cubs' star player Alex Bregman paid a price – a photo posted on his Instagram account showed the aftermath of an injury sustained by Bregman during the game. The injury came when Bregman was on-deck with two outs in the fourth inning; a foul ball hit by Michael Busch struck his face, forcing Bregman to clutch his face and exit the game.
