Alex Bregman’s Scary Injury Diagnosis Revealed; Playoffs Possible for Cubs Star?

The Cubs got a hopeful diagnosis on star third baseman Alex Bregman, who was struck in the face by a foul ball a day ago.

Cubs star third baseman Alex Bregman reportedly sustained facial fractures after being struck by a foul ball during a game against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday, Sept. 20. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, Bregman will not require surgery for the injuries. The 32-year-old player, who signed a five-year, $175 million contract in January, immediately exited the game in the fourth inning following the incident.

Bregman, a crucial player for the Cubs this season, finished with a .262/.352/.452 batting average in 153 games, showcasing his defensive prowess at third base. Despite his injury, Bregman remains hopeful to return for the playoffs, posting a selfie on Instagram to update his fans. His absence, if confirmed, could impact the Cubs' playoff run, as they currently share the first wild-card position with the San Diego Padres.
