Chicago Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman acknowledged regret for not running hard to first base during the team's win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. This occurred in the sixth inning with his team trailing 1-0. Bregman’s lack of hustle resulted in an out, stranding a runner.
His performance has been notably poor in June, batting just .181 with a .253 slugging percentage. Bregman signed a significant contract over the winter but is struggling in his first season, hitting .239 overall. He cited a desire to hit pitches he can drive and avoid those outside the strike zone.
The Cubs, who won the game 4-3 in 10 innings, are navigating several player injuries. Utilityman Matt Shaw and pitcher Ethan Roberts were recently placed on the injured list. Shaw is dealing with a sprained left hand, while Roberts has elbow inflammation, marking him as the 13th Cubs pitcher on the IL. Michael Conforto is expected to see more time in right field with Shaw sidelined.
