Former Cub Brian Matusz Passes Away at 37
Former big league pitcher Brian Matusz passed away Tuesday at the age of 37, as first reported by MASN’s Roch Kubatko. Matusz pitched almost exclusively for the Orioles and made only one appearance for the Cubs, but it was one of the most memorable games of a 2016 season that was filled with them. After being traded to the Braves and subsequently DFA’d in May of that year, the Cubs signed Matusz to a minors deal on June 15 and called him up to start against the Mariners on July 31.
Our hearts are heavy tonight as we mourn the passing of former Oriole, Brian Matusz.
