CHICAGO -- For the second time in two years, Chicago Cubs lefty Brad Wieck will undergo a heart ablation procedure stemming from an irregular heartbeat, the team announced on Friday.
Wieck, 29, who has been on the 10-day injured list since July 9 due to the ailment, was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Friday. He made 15 appearances this season without giving up a run.
"He's been dealing with this for a little while now," manager David Ross said. "I think he's in a good place with it. I think he was going to try and avoid it and went through another episode.
