Alex Bregman Dealing With a Sore Toe
Chicago Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman (toe), who was not in the team's starting lineup for Tuesday's game in San Diego against the Padres, was out of the lineup due to a sore toe, manager Craig Counsell told Patrick Mooney of The Athletic. Bregman fouled a ball off his foot during Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, but he was still available as a pinch-hitter off the bat and did exactly that on Tuesday after shortstop Dansby Swanson left the game early with a glute cramp. Bregman came off the bench in Tuesday night's 8-3 win to hit a two-out RBI single off lefty reliever Wandy Peralta before outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong delivered a three-run homer. Fantasy managers will want to check back soon to see if Bregman and Swanson are back in the starting nine for Wednesday's series finale at Petco Park against Padres right-handed knuckleballer Matt Waldron. In his first year with the Cubs, Bregman, who is in his 11th MLB season, has gone 31-for-121 (.256) with three home runs, 11 RBI, 10 runs scored, and a stolen base in 30 games played.
