Cubs release Rusch

Baseball Betting Lines

01/26/2007 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Cubs released pitcher Glendon Rusch on Thursday after a blood clot in his left lung cut short his 2006 season.

The left-hander, 32, was 3-8 with a 7.46 earned run average in 25 games, including nine starts last season.

Rusch said he felt pain in his chest in September while working out on the treadmill and was immediately taken to the hospital. He was then diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism blood clot in his lung, which usually originates in the lower leg and travels to the lung.

The condition was potentially life threatening, but was caught in time. He will be on blood thinning medication for the next three-to-six months.

He has a 60-94 career record with a 5.01 ERA in 296 appearances -- 211 starts -- spanning nine seasons with Kansas City, New York Mets, Milwaukee and the Cubs.
