• Third baseman was standing near on-deck circle

• Player taken to hospital for X-rays and CT scan

Chicago Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman was taken to the hospital for tests after being struck in the face by a foul ball while standing in front of the on-deck circle during Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds.

Bregman underwent X-rays and CT scans, and the team were hopeful he would be able ⁠to travel back to ⁠Chicago on Sunday ​night. The Cubs are off Monday before beginning a three-game home series against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday.
