Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman pushing for regular-season return after foul ball injury
Bregman did a light workout and tracked pitches as the Cubs hope he can return before the postseason, despite multiple facial fractures.
- On Tuesday, Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell confirmed third baseman Alex Bregman will not be placed on the injured list despite suffering multiple facial fractures after being struck by a foul ball on Sunday.
- The injury occurred in Cincinnati on Sunday when a check-swing foul ball from teammate Michael Busch struck Bregman, who is in his first season with the Cubs after signing a $175 million, five-year contract.
- At Wrigley Field on Tuesday, Bregman performed a light weight room workout and tracked pitches on a Trajekt machine, which Counsell characterized as a "very positive sign."
- Chicago Cubs officials hope the three-time All-Star will return for the final regular season series this weekend in Boston, with potential participation in the opening-round playoff series in one week.
- Bregman's return remains dependent on swelling dissipation and successful practice progress, with modifications to his helmet expected to protect his left cheek area upon his eventual return.
