But on Friday, the Cubs announced that Wieck had successfully undergone the operation over the All-Star break.
“He’s been through a ton,” Cubs 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 I think that says it all; he knows what’s ahead of him.”
