Another update on Alex Bregman’s injury

So… at this point what we have is "hopeful." What that post also says is that Bregman likely will not return for the six games remaining in the regular season.

Could he be ready to play a week from tomorrow when the Cubs will (presumably) be opening a Wild Card Series… somewhere, either at Wrigley Field or on the road? I suppose that depends on how quickly the swelling around his eye goes down and how he feels.

Will they place Bregman on the injured list? If the Cubs do that, he'd be out for the Wild Card Series. My feeling is that they won't, hoping that he could play by then and that they can manage a roster a player short for the next six games.
