“Heartbreak in Chicago: Cubs’ Ace Justin Steele Faces Unexpected Season-Ending Surgery—What It Means for the Team’s Playoff Hopes!”
Steele, 3-1 with a 4.76 ERA in four starts, felt tightness in his elbow after throwing seven scoreless innings at home against the Texas Rangers last Monday, discomfort he attributed to the chilly weather at Wrigley Field.
Two days later, the Cubs placed Steele on the 15-day injured list. An MRI revealed that Steele was “dealing with the same injury” as last September, when he missed two starts because of tendinitis, Counsell said Friday. A visit to a doctor for a second opinion revealed a more serious injury.
