“Heartbreak in Chicago: Cubs’ Ace Justin Steele Faces Unexpected Season-Ending Surgery—What It Means for the Team’s Playoff Hopes!”
It was unclear whether Steele, who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2017, will need another full ligament-replacement procedure or a Tommy John revision with an internal brace. The 29-year-old left-hander will be sidelined until 2026.
“On a day like this, you feel for Justin,” manager Craig Counsell said before Sunday’s series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers. “It’s kind of the life of a major league pitcher, these injuries that make you miss most of seasons.
“But I talked to him this morning, and he has a great attitude about it, as he always does. He knows that it’s part of the career he’s chosen, and he’s going to take it a step at a time and do the best he can to come back even better.”
