Cubs’ Alex Bregman on the mend after getting struck in the face by a foul ball

Sporting a discolored left eye after being struck by a foul ball in the on-deck circle, the three-time All-Star said it could've been worse.

"Super lucky it hit where it hit and just a lot of gratitude that it wasn't a few centimeters higher," he said before a game against Miami .

The ball, off the bat of teammate Michael Busch in Cincinnati , caused several facial fractures.
