Chicago Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman exited Sunday's game after being struck by a foul ball while standing in the on-deck circle, the team announced. The incident occurred during the Cubs' series finale against the Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field.

Bregman was waiting for his turn to bat when a foul ball off the bat of a teammate or opponent—details were not immediately specified—hit him. He was attended to by the Cubs' training staff and walked off the field under his own power, but did not return to the game.

The Cubs later described the injury as a left leg contusion, and Bregman is considered day-to-day. The team said he would undergo further evaluation.

Bregman, a two-time All-Star and former Gold Glove winner, joined the Cubs in a trade with the Houston Astros in December 2025. He has been a key part of Chicago's lineup this season.

Further updates on Bregman's condition are expected in the coming days.
