Bregman is recovering from facial fractures he suffered when he was hit by a foul ball on Sunday, Sept. 20. Now four days later, he said he's feeling better and confident he'll be available to play in the postseason.

Speaking to the media on Wednesday for the first time since the incident, Bregman's left eye was full of blood and his cheek was still puffy.

"The left side of my face has been numb," Bregman said. "As soon as the swelling goes down, I'm sure I'll feel the breaks a little bit more."
