Former Yankees pitcher Colten Brewer vented his frustration in the dugout.

And he got hurt doing so.

Brewer, now with the Cubs, broke his non-pitching hand after punching a wall after Saturday’s game. The Athletic reported..

The right-hander appeared in relief in a 7-0 loss to the Angels, pinch-hitting for starter Kyle Hendricks and pitching just 2/3 of an inning, giving up three runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks.
