Cubs Call Up Bigge After Brewer Injury
News summary

Chicago Cubs pitcher Colten Brewer has been placed on the 60-day injured list after fracturing his left hand by punching a dugout wall in frustration during a game against the Los Angeles Angels. Brewer entered the game in relief of Kyle Hendricks and struggled, allowing three runs (one earned) in 2/3 of an inning, which led to his emotional outburst. Manager Craig Counsell and Brewer himself acknowledged the mistake, with Brewer expressing regret for letting his emotions get the better of him. This incident follows similar unfortunate injuries among MLB pitchers this season, highlighting a recurring issue of emotional control. To replace Brewer, the Cubs called up right-hander Hunter Bigge from Triple-A Iowa, where he has posted a 0.77 ERA and six saves. Bigge, a Harvard alum, will make his major league debut.
