It’s still unclear whether he will miss any starts, but the team does not anticipate an extended absence.”I’m expecting it to go just as normal as any other day of catch,” Steele said. “Everything’s headed in the right direction.
Steele and Marcus Stroman have given the Cubs a formidable duo at the top of the rotation. Through 12 starts, Steele owns a 2.65 ERA and 166 ERA+ with 58 strikeouts and 16 walks in 68 innings.The Cubs could use right-handers Javier Assad or Hayden Wesneski to fill in for Steele. Right-hander Ben Brown, who is on the 40-man roster, has pitched well at Triple-A Iowa too. The team recalled Wesneski on Tuesday to be used as a reliever in an effort to bolster a struggling bullpen.
“That’s a position you really want to be in as an organization, as a team, when something happens, the guy you’re bringing up right after and you feel really confident in them and I feel like that’s the situation we’re in with Wesneski, Assad and whoever else the case could be,” Steele said. “There’s a ton of guys we feel confident and comfortable with. It’s always a good position to be in.
