Chicago Cubs’ Brad Wieck had a scare being diagnosed with a heart condition. Team doctor Stephen Adams noticed it with an electrocardiogram with an abnormal heartbeat. They’ll monitor in a week a see where we’ll go from there. This is a scary situation and should not be taken lightly.
As Mark Gonzalez reported, Mark DeRosa had a similar surgery in February 2008. He was ready by the start of the year. Wieck, who was acquired in July, posted a 3.60 in 14 appearances, returned for the rest of the week in Arizona.
