The Chicago Cubs positioned right-handed pitcher Colten Brewer on the 60-day injured record Sunday due to a damaged left hand after he punched the dugout wall in frustration the day earlier than.
Brewer entered Saturday’s sport in reduction of starter Kyle Hendricks within the third inning with the Cubs down 2-0 to the Los Angeles Angels. He bought simply two outs earlier than being lifted and was charged with three runs (one earned) on two hits, two walks and successful batter.
The Angels went on to win 7-0.
“My intention wasn’t to interrupt my hand,” Brewer informed reporters Sunday. “I will get annoyed and make errors. That is no excuse. There’s rather a lot I can show on the market, that I am prepared to not do stuff like that. Feelings get one of the best of us generally.”
The six-year veteran, in his first season with the Cubs, has made 16 reduction appearances. The 31-year-old has no selections to go together with a 5.66 ERA, a save and a blown save, 22 strikeouts and 9 walks.
“When these issues occur, you realize you screwed up,” supervisor Craig Counsell informed reporters. “That was the dialog. Then there’s penalties for the errors you make. It is an unlucky mistake, and he let feelings get one of the best of him. It isn’t who he’s, but it surely’s a mistake that he made.”
In a corresponding transfer, the Cubs referred to as up right-hander Hunter Bigge from Triple-A Iowa.
