- Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman was struck in the face by a foul ball Sunday and was taken for X‑rays and CT scans; it's not yet known if he'll travel back with the team.
- Manager Craig Counsell said Bregman was hit near the left cheekbone, had some bleeding and swelling; teammates called it a scary, rare accident and hope he's OK.
- Bregman had been having a big season (26 HR, 89 RBI) after a $175M free‑agent signing, and the Cubs could clinch a postseason spot later Sunday.
