A Foul Ball's Hidden Cost: The Human Toll of In Play Accidents On Sunday, a foul ball struck Chicago Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman in the face while he was standing near the on deck circle.
Bregman required immediate attention and underwent X rays and CT scans before being taken to the hospital for further evaluation.
The incident occurred during the fourth inning when Michael Busch fouled off a pitch from Luis Mieses, sending the ball careening into Bregman's left cheekbone.
