Whether it’s Kyle Farnsworth kicking an electric fan and hurting his knee or Sammy Sosa throwing his back out with a sneeze, the Cubs have a history of freak injuries.

Reliever Colten Brewer added himself to that list.

Before Sunday’s game with the Angels, the Cubs placed Brewer on the 60-day injured list with a broken left hand. In a corresponding move, the Cubs selected Hunter Bigge from Triple-A Iowa.

Brewer broke his left hand in the third inning of Saturday’s game, but not on the field.
