Hendricks wins 9th straight, Wisdom HR, Cubs beat Cards 10-5
Kyle Hendricks won his ninth straight decision, Patrick Wisdom hit a two-run homer and Chicago Cubs pounded the St. Louis Cardinals 10-5JULY 9, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lands on injured list Wieck was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday due to an irregular heartbeat, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Impact The Cubs will monitor Wieck's symptoms over the next couple weeks, so it's fair to say he won't be back after the minimum 10 days. The left-hander has dealt with similar issues in the past, and it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined.

Recalled by Cubs Wieck was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Wieck spent just under two weeks with the minor-league club and allowed six runs (four earned) on four hits and five walks while striking out five in 3.1 innings. He should serve mainly as a low-leverage reliever for the Cubs after right-hander Robert Stock was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Optioned to Triple-A Wieck was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Impact Wieck has bounced on and off the edge of the Cubs' roster throughout the season, spending three separate stints in the big-league bullpen. He's yet to allow a run in eight innings of work, striking out nine while walking three. Cory Abbott was called up in a corresponding move.

Earns first hold Wieck recorded two outs and earned a hold in Wednesday's win over the Padres.
Impact The hold is the first of the season for Wieck, who has bounced between Triple-A and the majors. The lefty dealt with an irregular heartbeat and then a hamstring strain in 2020, which limited him to just a single inning at the MLB level. He does have good swing-and-miss stuff, so the southpaw could be a bullpen weapon for the Cubs if they keep him around.

Cubs place OF Marisnick on IL with right hamstring injury
The Chicago Cubs have placed outfielder Jake Marisnick on the 10-day injured list and recalled reliever Brad Wieck from Triple-A IowaMAY 11, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Called up by Cubs Wieck was recalled by the Cubs on Tuesday.
Impact Wieck spent a brief period on the active roster in mid-April but made just a single appearance. He owns a career 5.15 ERA in 43.2 major-league innings, so he'll likely be used in lower-leverage spots during his time with the team. Jake Marisnick (hamstring) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Contributes to team no-hitter Wieck pitched two scoreless, hitless innings Sunday for Triple-A Iowa in what ended up being a combined no-hitter. He struck out five.
Impact Shelby Miller opened the game with three clean innings and five strikeouts of his own, and Wieck worked the seventh and eighth innings. The lefty has appeared in one game at the MLB level so far this season, though he could factor into the Cubs' bullpen plans later in the year. Wieck was limited by injuries in 2020 but logged 34.2 innings for Chicago in 2019 with 49 strikeouts.

Bounced from active roster The Cubs optioned Wieck to their alternate training site Wednesday, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Impact Wieck will cede his spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen to Jason Adam, who was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move. The lefty reliever appeared in one game during his two-day stint with the Cubs, striking out two over a scoreless inning in Monday's loss to Milwaukee.
