PHILADELPHIA — When left-hander Brad Wieck first felt the pain in his arm at the start of spring training, he expected he’d be able to avoid Tommy John surgery. But on Friday, the Cubs announced that Wieck had undergone the operation over the All-Star break.
“He’s been through a ton,” manager David Ross said. “We text back and forth a little bit, and he said everything went well, just got back in Arizona and fixed to start the grind. So that says it all. He knows what’s ahead of him.”
