Chicago Cubs ace Justin Steele is recovering from some left elbow tendinitis, and although his team is pretty much out of it at this point, he may make another star✅t or two before the season is over.
That comes after another successful bul🐷lpen session th﷽is weekend in Colorado:
“The biggest thing is having the relief of throwing and not feeling anything,” Steele sꦫaid, . “Mentally, I’m just a lot more free playing catch. In my bullpen, more focused ✤on doing things over the plate, not necessarily worried about how my arm’s feeling.”
Even if the Cubs are out of it, Steele is going to make start(s) if he’s healthy:
On the one hand, I definitely get the argument that it’s “not worth it,” and to just shut Steele down in a lost season. If the Cubs went that route, I’d hardly complain.
That said, it’s not ENTIRELY worthless for Steele to come back, add to his innings total for the year, learn more about his body and dealing with/coming back from various issues, and feel good about where he stands heading into the offseason. As long as he and the Cubs are both thoughtful about any risks, I’d be fine with Steele coming back to make a couple short starts.
