SportsNewsletter newsroom brief · 56m ago · 1 min read · via espn.com

The Cubs are confident third baseman Alex Bregman will be ready for the postseason after getting hit in the face by a foul ball Sunday -- and are not ruling him out for this weekend's series in Boston.

The Cubs are getting a boost of good news with Alex Bregman on track to return soon after a scary moment at the plate. Getting hit in the face by a foul ball can be a serious concern, but it seems Bregman dodged a major bullet. The fact that he's already being considered for this weekend's series in Boston is a great sign, and it's even more encouraging that the Cubs are confident he'll be ready for the postseason.

This is huge for the Cubs, as Bregman is a key player in their lineup. His presence at the plate and in the field can make a big difference, especially as the team gears up for the playoffs. The Cubs have been dealing with some injuries and inconsistencies this season, but Bregman's potential return could be just the spark they need to make a deep postseason run. The team's performance will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike, as they look to make a strong showing in the playoffs.

So, what to watch next? Keep an eye on Bregman's status over the next few days to see if he's able to suit up in Boston this weekend. If he does return, how will he look? Will he be back to his usual form, or will there be some rust to shake off? The Cubs' series in Boston will be a great test for the team, and Bregman's potential return will be a major storyline to follow.
