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.
