Alex Bregman Suffers Facial Fractures After Being Struck By Foul Ball

Chicago Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman suffered facial fractures when struck by a teammate's foul ball in the on-deck circle. Bregman avoids surgery but will miss the remainder of the regular season, finishing with a .262 average, 26 home runs, and 89 RBIs. With his left eye swollen shut, he remains hopeful for a postseason return. The Cubs are evaluating Pedro Ramírez and Matt Shaw as internal replacements at third base.
