Two teenagers face trial for alleged murder of Alex Coughlan after Grindr contact

Chicago Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman suffered a foul ball injury to his face during Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The incident occurred in the top of the fourth inning when teammate Michael Busch hit a 97-mph fastball that flew into the dirt and struck Bregman in the face. Bregman, a three-time All-Star and the second-highest home run hitter on the Cubs with 26, was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

He initially showed wet blood on his left cheek and a black eye but later showed more extensive injuries, including deep black around his eye and swelling. Cubs manager Craig Counsell expressed concern for Bregman's well-being, calling it a "terrible, terrible accident." Despite the injury, Bregman continued to play, going 1 for 1 with an RBI and a walk at Great American Ball Park.

The Cubs, who have the best offense in MLB with 835 runs, are currently leading the National League wild card race.
