Busch fouled off the pitch and the ball hit Bregman while he was in the on-deck circle. Bregman immediately went into the dugout, and he was replaced by pinch-hitter Matt Shaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou never want to see that on the ball field. You can\u2019t control any of that. It happened so fast,\u201d Busch said. \u201cAny time [the ball] hits the head area, it\u2019s scary. \u2026 You focus on the game, but it\u2019s tough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bregman was sent to the hospital for X-rays and a CT scan, but there wasn&#8217;t any initial word after the game regarding what kind of damage was done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third baseman posted a selfie on Instagram showing his swollen eye and captioned it: &#8220;Thanks for all the messages yall.
