Bregman admits regret, citing injury management as key to staying healthy. Manager Craig Counsell adds that mistakes happen, and the focus remains on team success. Meanwhile, the Cubs’ 15-5 run since early June has drowned out any drama, and with Dansby Swanson exploding for RBIs after a June reset, momentum is building. Hoyer confirms no big pitching trades are on the horizon, instead eyeing smaller moves—and welcomes Drew Pomeranz’s return as a lefty spark plug.
